Description

Implement real-time updates across the application using Supabase Realtime so users see changes instantly without refreshing.

Tasks

  • Set up Supabase Realtime subscriptions for projects
  • Set up Supabase Realtime subscriptions for tasks
  • Set up Supabase Realtime subscriptions for comments
  • Implement optimistic UI updates for better UX
  • Add real-time notification indicators
  • Handle connection drops and reconnections gracefully
  • Add loading skeletons during real-time updates
  • Test real-time functionality across multiple browser tabs

Implementation Details

Use Supabase's subscribe() method to listen to changes:

supabase
  .channel('projects')
  .on('postgres_changes', { event: '*', schema: 'public', table: 'projects' }, (payload) => {
    // Handle update
  })
  .subscribe()

Acceptance Criteria

  • Changes to projects, tasks, and comments appear instantly in the UI
  • Multiple users see each other's changes in real-time
  • Optimistic updates provide immediate feedback
  • Connection issues are handled gracefully with reconnection logic
  • Real-time subscriptions are properly cleaned up on unmount
