"Must be inside our own scope here so that, when we are unloaded, everything disappears."

In apps/antonclk/app.js, this comment appears:

Must be inside our own scope here so that, when we are unloaded, everything disappears.

Does anyone know what that means, exactly? In the previous version of the clock, that comment appeared, and the functions inside it were declared using the usual function foo() { syntax, which made the IDE complain. Now they're all defined like let foo = function() {, which makes the IDE stop complaining, but I don't understand the reason for the containing block.

I apologize if I missed this somewhere obvious in the documentation.

Hi - yes, it's definitely the 'fast load' stuff. It means we have to be a bit more careful about how things are defined - but it can be worth it if you want to make sure you get a nice quick switch between your clock and the launcher.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
