This post shows how to add live updates to a Dox app with Socket.IO. When one user changes data, the screens of the other users change too, with no refresh.

Dox is fast because your Dart code runs as a compiled binary, the network and database work happens in native code on the same thread, and most of the setup work is done once at build time or at start.
