The Stream

Post by Madd »

Hey guys. I've just introduced a change that I've been working on for a while. While I'd love to write paragraphs on just how amazing I am, and the beautiful wonder that is this new feature, I think I'd probably bore you. The long and short of it is this:

Instead of refreshing every five seconds, or every two seconds, or every one second, the stream is now updated instantaneously and constantly. While the change isn't particularly visible now, in times when the stream is very active, say immediately after a release, it will be quite noticeable. If ten different eggs are taken out of the stream over a one second time span, you will see each individual change as it happens instead of all ten changing at once. If that doesn't make any sense, it's because it's 3:13am!
I don't work here anymore but I do still have this egg

That sounds really cool. Now we just need a new release so we can really see it in action :D

Oh, cool. o:
I always thought that The Stream's refresh was instantaneous. It seemed that way, to me at least. (Though when I think about recently, I do see where there was a delay.) I just thought that when lots of eggs changed at once instead of one-by-one as taken from The Stream, it was my computer lagging/not keeping up with how many people were Stream-catching at one time.

Thank you for the new feature/update/change! :3
Away. );

Miss it here.
Thank you for everything.

Is it just me or, is the stream stopped flowing? The eggs are just sitting there. D:

It's not just you, though it's not staying frozen for me. It freezes when I first load it, and then after a minute or so, it finally starts moving. I was wondering if it was just me :derp:
