It's good to see someone making use of SSE/EventSource. so many devs just jump on the web sockets bandwagon when all they need is one way data flow with maybe occasional data sent from the client, which imo works better using sse and xhr when required.

A key thing to me is that sse can be polyfilled for older browsers. Websockets cannot.
