Voting appears to allow the same user twice

Question

We noticed our own vote count go up by two when only one person clicked upvote. It might be a double submit issue.

That lines up, ours settled back to the correct count after a refresh, so it really was just a display blip and not a real double vote.

Looked into this on our end, most likely a double network request from a slow tap registering as two separate clicks rather than an actual double vote in the database. Added a debounce on the button regardless so a fast double tap only ever sends one request.

Glad it was just a display blip, had a moment of worry about vote integrity.

The debounce fix has been out for a couple weeks now with no repeat reports, looks resolved.

Glad this got resolved, was worried for a second our vote counts were unreliable.
