Another similar request + advice on what to do:

I think given how popular Laravel is its worth your investment, Its close to being number 1 framework on github. All you need to add is a broadcast driver for laravel. The documentation is very well documented https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/broadcasting As you can see Pusher is the default currently. Once you have broadcasting driver you are pretty much a drop in solution You would probably want to them add laravel echo support which is the wrapper on the client side

Just joining the party to request this as well. Having my first play with real-time data via sockets etc and keen to explore. Found ably which looks great, but I want a drop in solution that uses broadcasting as laravel has taken me down that route... bit lazy I’ll admit but has the benefit of allowing me to try different things easily. Please consider updating the library to support broadcast. I’m not as bothered about echo, just feels like an unnecessary layer.
