I love Server-Sent Events, but just as a heads up in case anyone doesn't know there are some limitations to SSE:

* Doesn't natively support binary data.

* If you're using HTTP/1.1 in the browser, you'll be severely limited in the number of SSE connections you can have going at a time. If you're on HTTP/2 then it's not a problem.
