Minimum Dwell Time #14

Closed allanjuma closed 8 years ago

allanjuma commented 9 years ago

might it be a good idea to set a minimum dwell time variable to a geofence? This would indicate how long the event should wait before firing the on-enter event incase the user is just "passing-by" the geofence area..?

I'm not sure, I think I'd rather leave it up to the user agent (with presumably better knowledge of the hardware) to determine what it considers a geofence being entered/left. Also something like androids "dwell" transition could be implemented on top of the enter/leave events (but admittedly somewhat complicated by the fact that service workers can get killed fairly often).

Makes sense. So how can we test it out and give more feedback?

Currently no browser implement this spec yet. I'm working on the Chrome implementation, but I'm not sure yet when that will be in a state where this can be tested.
