Hello, is there any way to implement in a django app, a live chat without using Django Channels?(because I read that PythonAnywhere doesn't support asgi yet). Any ideas how??Thanks

Django Live Chat
You could do something using polling -- write some JavaScript that hit a view on your site to check for new messages every second or two.

Isn't that highly inefficient? To execute a script in an infinite loop while on the specific view?
Is that what the Tasks section in the dashboard is for?
