That was something I had wanted to do but couldnt figure out how to do right away so went with this slightly worse approach as a temporary thing to just get something out there, but that totally makes sense and would definitely improve the UX
- 0xbeefcab 3y agoI have very little webdev experience so my advice might be completely useless, but some google searches show either long polling or websockets as a solution to this problem. Either way, good job
- NoahECampbell 3y agoYou and me both, but I totally agree that it would be better if it was done asynchronously, either by default or as an option for the user so they can still do other things on the site
