Driftless setInterval and setTimeout replacement for Node and the browser

Usage

npm install driftless

js
import {
  setDriftlessTimeout,
  setDriftlessInterval,
  clearDriftless,
} from 'driftless';
// Use like setTimeout and setInterval

How it works

driftless repeatedly calls setTimeout in advance of the requested timeout for
greater accuracy. It does this recursively, until the timeout is reached within
a given threshold.
