I am working on a new project in which we have tiny social networking feature, where each user has an ability to post/share quotes, and more over facility of like and comment.

so, i want to build a (user specific )realtime push notification module with nodejs.

Yea. You can use Socket.io. In system , you can store the uses have connection to system. After you can check available users, if user available then you send (emit) to user with channel is socket.id.

I'm not sure what your question is exactly- or what specific problem you're trying to solve, but gave my thoughts on a similar question here.

See Server Sent Events.

You can use socket to do so. What you can do is create a userList array on server who are online in the system. The userList will contain user information along with the socket id.

When a particular event occurs you know to whom to send that notification, and then check if all those users are available in the userList. If a user is available in the userList, use socket to emit the notification to that users.
