minor fix
I am interested in finding out all the aspects I need to cover in order to correctly assess if a user has stopped interacting with a web page. So far, I was to find the following:- - **Idle Detection API** - this seems to do most of the work for idle detection. However, it requires user permission
- - **Detect page/tab/browser close** - this is covered by [beforeunload event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event)
- - **Heartbeat function** - this is useful when idle detection is not allowed or supported. Basic example [here](https://gist.github.com/srkirkland/1157658).
- Is there anything else I should check for? I am currently focused on using this in an Angular SPA, but I guess that it is less relevant.

Detecting if a user has stopped interacting with a web view for a certain time
I am interested in finding out all the aspects I need to cover in order to correctly assess if a user has stopped interacting with a web page. So far, I was to find the following: - **Idle Detection API** - this seems to do most of the work for idle detection. However, it requires user permission - **Detect page/tab/browser close** - this is covered by [beforeunload event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event) - **Heartbeat function** - this is useful when idle detection is not allowed or supported. Basic example [here](https://gist.github.com/srkirkland/1157658). Is there anything else I should check for? I am currently focused on using this in an Angular SPA, but I guess that it is less relevant.
