What's happening with Linen

- Why there is a socket implementation in Elixir? Is this for notifications only or whole message being handled?
- What are the moving parts?
- Can I build a custom frontend for linen?
- If there is no Prisma subscription, how the messages are fetched in realtime. Is there any kind of polling?
- Saw you have used, Graphile-worker is it only for the syncing process or realtime too?
