We already have an awesome realtime questions tab for every question that comes in over the whole network.
But in the spirit of Optimizing For Pearls, Not Sand, shouldn't we also have a realtime answers tab? It'd be really neat to see the answers coming through for each question in the network, and would give new users a sense of how helpful the QA model is.
My real motivation here, though, is spam detection. In Charcoal HQ, we've already made a bot that runs regex on new question titles we get from the current realtime questions page. It works fairly well, and we'd like to expand to answers. We can't really do it with the API (too many requests to be useful). A page like this would necessitate a websocket, which we would then use for good.
Please?
