What's the problem 🤔

I've just installed this today, and already contemplating on making this a permanent fixture due to the simplicity and the ease of install. Also thinking of what old laptop I want to use to allow family members to enter grocery items.

One thing I did notice that is not super critical but an observation. If I'm on my Windows machine using FF and clicking on and off the items I have in my grocery list, the phone updates immediately. Going the other way, though, does not, meaning if I click on my phone the web interface doesn't update.

Very minor problem considering that I'll never be in front of my desktop super heavy weight computer and in a grocery isle at the exact same time....

One thing I just stumbled over is I had KitchenOwel open in a background tab, forgot about that specific tag, opened another browser window a while later and added something to the list. I then came back to the old tab and saw that the item I had added wasn't there, but half a second later, it refreshed the list and put the item in. So there's some kind of event missing at least in FF maybe?

Hey thanks for the issue. If you look at the developer screen of your browser under the network tab do you get cors errors for the long polling socket.io path? If so you need to set the FRONT_URL (look at the advanced config in the documentation for more information about it).

Your second comment is something different. If the app/tab comes back into foreground it refreshes the items. This is unrelated to the real time sync feature.

Hope that helps, if not let me know :)
