Heartbeat timer? #1

Hi, many thanks for example. I would like to ask you, why you send some data from server every 10 seconds? What is the purpose of it?

The heartbeat is sent to allow presence to function in Chatterbox. While using the app you'll notice an indicator to the left of the username. This indicator is green when a user is "online," which is determined by the server based on the timing of the last heartbeat signal from the user's device.
