How Does MessengerNow Work in the Field?
MessengerNow is built on the OpenFox Web Application Framework and uses modern front-end technologies such as HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript. It supports asynchronous communication through HTTP and Server-Sent Events (SSE), allowing the system to respond to new data in real time without constant user refresh.
This architecture ensures MessengerNow fits seamlessly into existing OpenFox environments while meeting modern expectations for reliability, responsiveness, and security.
