I don’t use my Yatse client all the time, but when I do, launch it and must wait for it to do a refresh of the content from the server since my last use…this sync isn’t typically very long…not more than 10 seconds or so generally, but if I could setup as a host property, some sort of background sync to happen every hour or some other configurable amount, when I’m not using the app, it could update its local cache so that when I went into use the app, it would already be updated, and the sync that was needed at that moment would be either non-existent, or significantly decreased to likely sub second ---
