Node-webkit for dummies

[Ugur Baltaci]

Hi,

I hope no one blame me for this :)

Briefly; I'm a regular programmer, mostly dealing with C and Objective-C. My day job is related to very low-level things and I never experimenting with high-level things or web technologies since

I was not interested in. 

When I decided to experimenting with this project, I created personal goal :) notification app(!) basicly it checks regularly some api and notified me. 

So far so good; 

I got data from web servise, parsing it and saving it to sqlite database.

My app structure basicly like this;

- index.html

-- detail.html

and timer code ( for regular call to webservice ) placed in index.html.

Here is the problem blowing my mind;

If new notifications comes and I click it; it opens directly detail.html.

After I read the memo, minimize window.

Since; detail.html do not contain any timer or api calls to webservice, 

my app stucks that state.

Is there any solution / paradigm; ( like C, threading ) I exclude timer from index.html and

works both index & detail page.

Regards,

~ p.s: tracking minimize event and open index.html or creating another timer inside detail.html

may solve the problem, but i'm not looking for.
