Now, we poll for the count of notifications after some fixed amount of time and change the count of notification on the header icons.
When the tab is not visible i.e. document.hidden is true then should we
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change polling rate when document not visible | mediawiki/extensions/Echo | master | +2 -2 |
My initial reaction is that we should slow down polling. I don't know if the slowed down rate should be based on the wgEchoPollingRate or should be a fixed number. Another consideration is that the user may have multiple tabs open, which I don't have a great answer to, but would make me think that we err on the side of polling less frequently.
