Minute-By-Minute Real-Time News
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I’m developing a news website where the headline feed, article snippets, and associated metrics must refresh automatically every single minute while a visitor is still on the page. When asked which real-time technology I had in mind I answered “news” because the priority is the content; I’m happy for you to choose the most suitable approach—whether that proves to be pure WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, or an ultra-light polling strategy—so long as the update cycle remains smooth and invisible to the user.
What I already have: the general UI in HTML/CSS and a REST endpoint that returns the latest stories in JSON. What I need from you:
• A real-time layer that pulls fresh data every 60 seconds (or pushes it, if you go the WebSocket route) and swaps it into the DOM without flicker.
• Clear, well-commented code in vanilla JavaScript or a mainstream front-end framework (React, Vue, or Svelte are fine—your call).
• A brief deployment note so I can reproduce the setup on my VPS.
Success is simple: if I can open the site in a browser and watch headlines change automatically once a minute for an hour straight with no memory leaks and no broken console logs, the job is done.
