title: Polling Thread in a Blazor Webassembly App
body: <p>My question is similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/60490969/1628429">this one</a>, but instead of pertaining to a Blazor <strong>server</strong> app, I'm asking in the context of a Blazor <strong>webassembly</strong> app. I realize that there is only one (UI) thread in this browser execution context, but I figure there must be some kind of framework for a worker or background service. All my googling has come up empty.</p>
  <p>I simply need to kick off a background service that polls a web API continually every second for the lifetime of the app.</p>
