How do I poll every x seconds on an app?
I have an app that I want to run a script every x seconds on, and have the ability to run a frontend script when it's successful each time, to add the data to the state. I see that there's a while loop in the flow, but it does not look like that would allow me to get the results on each success, just at the end.

but why not just put the while loop in the frontend?
you want that:
frontend call -> windmill flow running and sending things back to the frontend every x seconds
?
Because I think it's easier to do:
while loop in frontend calling windmill ---> flow doing stuff and responding back
yeah i did something similar thanks! i did a fetch flow, then that caused a frontend script to run that had a promise that resolved after x seconds, and then on the finish of that script, it calls the flow
yeah that sounds like the right way to do it
