❔ signalr optimistic updates excluding the connection of the user posting the message
So, I'm using signalr IHubContext to push a notification from server to client after I've confirmed that Twilio Conversations rest api has successfully persisted the message with the webhook i've set up. I do this to ensure data consistency, but it does introduce some delay.
But i want an optimistic update strategy for the author of the message, so the connection from which the message is originally posted should not receive the signalr notification.
I thought I should do this on the server, by wiring up some logic to get that users connectionid and excluding it in the notification... but it seems like a lot of work.
is this a common problem? if so, what solutions are available? I thought of passing along a message ID to the client and then the client can ignore that signalr message for the author. Is that a viable approach?

Assigning the messages unique IDs is generally a good idea for consistency across architecture. I don't see any downsides. You do not want to see something: you ignore it, based on some condition.

@MangoDbit's not a full-fledged chat app but a subsystem, so not that important that it's perfect. what i've done rn is i pass in some unique identifier with the message from teh client, and on the client i dedupe the signalr message based on that id
