Hmm, I'm not sure if people in the western world can use it but in South Korea (with a 1Gbps network) this is basically unusable.

It has too much latency, text doesn't get entered, scrolling doesn't work, etc... Is the experience from US similar? Or is this just b.c. of server latency?




If you're talking about the free/demo version, it's hosted in a US-East GCP instance and the author said elsewhere in the thread that it's under heavy load, i imagine a self-hosted instance would work well.


I'm really sorry you're having this trouble!

If you want, I can test it. I'll open up an "East Asia" instance and we can see how if it's any better.


I would like to test it! It would be great to have an East Asia instance for this.


Cool! I'm just setting it up now. Please hold on a little bit.

Edit: Okay an instance in East Asia is up and running!

Okay, much better now. I’m writing this comment in the Cloud Browser on my iPhone! :-)

It’s now ‘usable’, but definitely not a good environment. Scrolling is unbearable, and once you start scrolling it doesn’t stop, so it’s a pain to navigate.


Hahah! That's awesome to hear you're writing it in the Cloud Browser on your iPhone!

But I'm really sorry about the scrolling. Sounds like it's unbearable. I need to fix that!

I added a "fast mode" for scrolling where if you scroll more than 40% of the screen in one go, it accelerates the amount, so you could try scrolling smaller, but I don't feel that's a satisfying solution for you. Scrolling is really important to get right, I'm very sorry about that!

If you want, email me at cris@dosycorp.com and I will work on it and let you know.

Edit: I've had other reports about Safari / iOS being really unusable today. I just tried turning up the image quality for iOS / Safari it should make things better.
