is there any updated guidance on stream form TypeSense to Flutter? I've been working on this for a while and the search works great, but when i edit a record, i always need to wait and refresh after a few seconds. I'm using FireStore with the extension on the backend. I've not found an elegant way to do this.

a nice thing about FireStore is the streaming updates, so you don't need to do anything at all to have updates/adds automatically reflected.

Typesense doesn't have the concept of streaming updates like Firestore...
