to build the app run the following commands

npm install

bower install

gulp setup

When a tab is inactive in Chrome it automatcilly buffers the setTimeout and setInterval functions to excute at maximum every second. The timer function gets executed approximately every 1.3 / 1.4 seconds, not ideal for a timer appliaction.

Web workers allow any script to run in a background thread and are not effected by buffering when the tab is inactive.
