  • EventSource

    a polyfill for http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/

    Yup, that is an issue. However, one can theoretically get rid of this issue by using making use of the fetch API to mock this as you stated. An easy way would be to consider a polyfill such as https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource and customize it to force the use of fetch. I've not looked into it thoroughly so I may be wrong here.

  • WHATWG HTML Standard

    HTML Standard

    SSE is abandoned it seems

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support. Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • better-sse

    ⬆ Dead simple, dependency-less, spec-compliant server-side events implementation for Node, written in TypeScript.

    I've been working on a library that makes working with server-sent events easier on the server-side that can hopefully be relevant here.
