Why you have defined: [5, 3, 1, 0] instead of [3, 2, 1, 0] in BookingController?

Hi Simon. Why you have defined: [5, 3, 1, 0] instead of [3, 2, 1, 0] in BookingController?
define('BOOKING_NOTIFICATIONS_POSITIONS', [5, 3, 1, 0]);

If I understand correctly, these are the positions of the users who will receive the push notification. If so why not to use [3, 2, 1, 0]?

Hi, thanks for the interest.
You've correctly understood the goal of that array. However, for a matter of user experience, I've decided to send a notification when there are 5, 3 and 1 person because I think it's useless to receive a notification for every person, when you just want to know about the status of the queue.

It's like:

• 5 people left: start to pay attention
• 3 people left: start to move towards your destination (physically)
• 1 person left: harry up!
• 0: it's your turn

Could I know how you discovered this project? I'm genuinely curious!

I haven't found any open source (reliable) queuing system other than your project. (if you aware of it, I will be happy to know about it). it contain both backend and fronted. Your GitHub project is the only queue system. That is cool, fast and almost well-written.
