This is an aside, but to my mind, when necessary (when you're storing user data) devs should be transparent about how that data is stored. Websockets won't necessarily mean you avoid persisting state on the browser. In fact, you'll probably find you'll need to store some tokens on the client, somehow, just to secure the client/server connection.
