I just shared a tutorial that displays how to repeatedly calls a function on the IC with web workers - without decreasing dapp frontend performance.

I :heart: web workers, they are so handy. Ping me for questions or idea of improvements!

Thank you, David! Your work inspires me, I also decided to use web workers and could not understand for a while why the actor was not created, I read the comment in your repository and this was the solution to my problem! I don’t use this variable so in my sh script I added:

sed -i'.bak' '/^export const main/s/^/\/\//g' src/declarations/main/index.js

After that, I can import the necessary variables from index.js and the web worker will not break.
