PlanningPoker works by storing data in your browser’s “Local Storage”. If you’re not familiar with that concept, it works similar to the browser Cookies you’ve heard about in the past and is used by nearly all modern web applications.
We use your local storage to store information to enable the 2-way communication. In the old days, you would have to refresh your window to see if there’s an update on the site. With the 2-way connection, the server is able to tell your browser as soon as someone else joins your game or selects a card. You no longer need to refresh to see if there’s anything new.
