pull down to refresh

There’s a bug, I suspect clock drift between my JavaScript counting down each second vs real time

But when you refresh the page it should show the correct time

I just paid and it did show 22h left for example

edit: ohhh, or my JavaScript countdown is only running when it’s in the foreground. If I were a browser, I also wouldn’t keep JavaScript running in the background.

Yeah, I remember lastpaywins had something similar going on where timers would not sync between tabs... @alex_lewin resolved it somehow, but don't know how.

payment notifications are emitted via websocket that contain a timestamp of the payment. then the browser calculates how much time is left based on its own clock

Ohh, thank you, that would also fix my issue probably:

I currently fetch the timestamp when the invoice will expire once and then I let the browser count down the seconds.

But instead, I should let the browser calculate the difference between now and the expiration timestamp every second. Then there would be no clock drift, for example if the browser doesn't run the JS interval every second for whatever—probably good—reason.

See @Undisciplined, we have a real OG here

I can already tell that this game is going to get out of hand.

Yes, but #971692 is probably going to get out of hand even faster

Depends how often they zap each other.

I’m playing with him

He‘s an expert in Last Pay Wins iirc, it’s going to be though

I'm a bit of a degen, at times~~

Different dynamics than LPW. Not sure how I'll go about with this one.
