Yesterday a ditto appeared. A user (several) went to the location but could only find a Caterpie (not in the exact location) at the time. The Ditto encounter is in the database and shows in our historical stats and heat maps now, i.e it was not a front end glitch. However the timings seen on the front end seem off compared with the database. This is expected by exactly 1 hour due to BST and is handled fine in all cases that I have looked at, however this ditto is different and the database / frontend seem to be reporting times that are over half an hour different. I was going to start looking at the time fudging code for negative return values but just wanted to know if anyone had seen anything like this in terms of a ditto, or the odd disappear timings. FYI The map has been running for over a month without skipping a beat. EDIT - after there was less than 30 minutes (exact time unconfirmed) on the time remaining, if users refreshed the screen ditto disappeared. - This sounds like the database timestamp was correct but that somehow the front end calculated this data wrong and saved it into the users local javascript Store object. Then after the condition that caused the calculation glitch had passed if the user moved the map away & back / refreshed then ditto would disappear. I think this suggests at some sort of calculation glitch in some condition for time remaining on the front end? everyone said nothing was in the sightings list, and some of them even turned up before the timestamp that is in the database (when adjusted for BST). It doesn't explain how I've ended up with an encounter for #132 in my database though. Thanks.

We built a Pokemon Go companion (web) app called [PokeChill.com](https://pokechill.com). It's built with Angular.js + Firebase as a single page application. You can Search, Save, Share, and Comment on your favorite Pokemon Go hang out spots. If you don't see any data for your area either add a spot, or deny the location request and type in this zip code: 84088. It's full of data. We see all over Reddit people asking for great spots to play the game. Not just where Pokestops and Gyms are, but good areas with active players, lures, maybe electrical outlets, or places to sit down. We want your feedback. Let us know how to possibly improve it. We included Amazon affiliate advertising to try and recommend relevant Pokemon ads instead of just throwing adsense on there with generic boring ads. The ads will change depending on which team you're on! It's pretty neat! Go to [PokeChill.com](https://pokechill.com) on your mobile browser and let us know what you think!

What is your setup? Right now, if you aren't using the multi-account feature in the develop branch, you can only use one account per worker. Since 1 account can only scan every 5 seconds, a single worker can only scan a -st 5 area if you want a reasonable refresh rate of around 4 minutes. So, a lot of workers are required to fill the area I need. [Here is my map as it is right now.](http://i.imgur.com/22fINGp.png) It's not in greatest shape at the moment right now because I haphazardly put it back together after Niantic's changes over the past few days. It used to be ~6x the size as it is in that picture. I'm hosting this map for multiple people across multiple cities in the metro Detroit area with text alerts, so its goal is to be a real time map of the entire area. I plan on making use of the develop branch's multi-account feature to go from -st 5 to -st 12 which will reduce my workers by about 6x.
