Hi, Im a newbie here.  
Im trying to create a blog app that sends a user notifications if someone comments on their posts. I figure out django-channel is the way to do it but I cant find any tutorial about real-time notification with django channel. Can you guys help me out by showing me the way to do it? I really appreciate any help!

The archetypal example for channels is the [“chat” program](https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/) or Andrew’s [multichat example](https://github.com/andrewgodwin/channels-examples).

If you think about it just a little, you’ll see that a chat message _is_ a type of “real-time notification”. The mechanics of creating and sending the notification is the same - what’s different is the condition under which the notification is generated, and how it’s handled in the browser.
