Description

Hi! It may be cool to have async refreshing of tasks.

Expected behaviour

I have few workstations, that always running or sleeping. Nextcloud tasks browser tab reflects remote changes periodically.

Actual behaviour

When I come from one device to other I need to reload tasks page to get recent changes.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the tasks browser tab currently loads and refreshes tasks, then compare that path with how remote changes could be detected. Done means changes made from another workstation appear periodically without manually reloading the page; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
