Basically, posts should appear automatically without needing to refresh the page. This would be hugely beneficial for smaller altchans (~300 posts a day).

Here's how it's supposed to work:

When a new post appears, there's a (1) or (*) shown in the tab title to notify the user about it.

How would you even go about implementing this?
I remember there was a soyjak party (vichan) custom script that just added a [Refresh] button at the top, which loaded new posts without refreshing the entire page. Maybe it could work like this but also refresh constantly?

May help (I don't if still works): js/live_index.js

Real time updates is tricky without websockets or server sent events.

AFAIK soyjak has server sent events but I didn't look further at updates tho.

It's possible to implement SSE since we don't need the messages from the client. However, we would need a way to display the mod information for logged in users since auto_reload.js works by fetching HTML, parsing and inserting, hence the mod information for logged users.

Yeah, I have it, and I also made a new JS for notifications in tab title.

Still, it would be cool if new posts loaded automatically without needing to click "Click to expand" (which expands the whole thread for some reason)

I wish I could find that script, but I don't recall that script. Maybe it was after my time?

Live posting (like meguca) was a backburner feature.

I updated the URLs and it still works

Only on soyjak party though. On my imageboard it just messes up a lot of things (probably because soyjak uses /thread/ instead of /res/ and so on)
