Websocket backend integration
Hey 👋🏻 does anyone have some creative ideas of how to get Convex to make use of websocket streaming? This would be a cool feature to add overall.
Example: I'm working on a stock market app, and the API I use provides REST and websockets. Obviously websockets would be a lot cooler and play extremely well with Convex' reactivity. BUT... functions are limited to 15 minutes.
I guess I could re-establish a connection every 15 minutes but this feels kinda unncessary.
Any other creative ideas?
Thank you!

Think outside the scope of a web socket, think of not needing to use state management because everything is cached, and think of not having to reload the page to show changes, think beyond that.
I've done chat bots, High level todo management, memories to share with friends, I have yet to make what I've always wanted to create, a management system for job applicants.
not interested in blockchain/crypto/ai badges, the world is your oyster
one idea could be to create docs out of apps/websites/directories with AI
