autoUpdate #207

Closed nbriz closed 1 year ago

nbriz commented 1 year ago

on main the setting the user sets is saved in local session data, which creates some confusion with students because when the return to netnet (either to a previous sketch or otherwise) they see a blank/white screen (which makes technical sense, b/c they have to manually run the update to render it, but seems confusing)

on dev i ended up removing autoUpdate from something that gets saved (so everytime a student returns to netnet autoUpdate is reset to true), this clears up that confusion... but might actually end up confusing other folks who might expect that to have been saved.

...we need a better solution to this. maybe we always call render on initial laod, but only call subsequent renders if autoUpdate is true?

fixed in my refactor-v3 branch (we now always render on the initial page load, even if autoUpdate is false)
