HTTP SUBSCRIBE (stream) instead of polling?

[gianpaj]

I'm looking to send push notifications as soon as a message has been sent and the user's client is offline.
So I believe polling every 1/3 seconds would be a bit too much.

Is it be possible to listen for new messages in each room using this API?

That's a good idea! I'd like to see that in my application as well, so will probably try to implement this. I won't have time to make a implementation this week, probably in the next week. Any PR's are more than welcome 😅

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to try another Chat messaging provider (Ably) before giving Pusher another try.
Writing my own push server for chat messages is silly, especially if Pusher has something called "chatkit" and has "push" in their name.
