As a web developer, I am not entirely sure why a web app necessarily needs high precision timers.
- ovao 9y agoMost web apps are unlikely to need high-precision timers. For games, however, Date.now() offers only millisecond resolution, which can make it occasionally inadequate.
- mrep 9y agoI'm developing a website that will require somewhat high frequency timing to account for network latency but I think standard getTime is accurate enough with millisecond accuracy which I think will satisfy my requirements (I still need to test this though). I can't think of something that needs microsecond level timing though.
- pault 9y agoA browser based DAW/soft-synth?
- cptskippy 9y agoThat's one of those things that seems better suited to being a native App. I realize there's a whole group of people who want to make the web browser as powerful as native Apps but I for one do not.
- pault 9y agoI agree; I would like to see a move away from trying to cram everything into a browser app, and towards adding better connectivity and community features to native apps.
