Description

Can't believe it has been nearly 5 years since this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1090&v=ViXL0YQnioU where Lee Byron presents the idea of the @live directive.

Really cool to follow your progress on live queries, but I've been wondering why you went with the approach of annotating the entire query vs being able to annotate the individual fields or fragments?

Are you planning, at some point, to support @live per field or fragment, or what is the rationale of annotating the whole query?

Keep up the great work!
