Hello, I've noticed that the countdown component, after a couple of days gave an "image error" and does not load anymore on an outlook email. What might be the problem?
The countdown method used by Stripo seems like a really bad thing for Gmail users. From what I can see Stripo just generates an animated GIF which shows varying time animations depending on when the image url is fetched. Gmail however appears to store/cache images and at least for a couple of hours or days serves the same cached image version meaning the countdown will always reset to whatever it was when Gmail first loaded the email everytime the email is viewed. So in terms of client compatibility literally all alternatives seem better than Stripo's solution.
Tom, Thank you for your valuable comment. Could you clarify please what alternatives you meant? We would love to investigate them. Thank you
