Most people know Google’s webapps are slow, they just don’t know how to do anything about it. Or they notice it as worse battery life and fans running constantly and think there’s something wrong with their laptop because they don’t realize a web app can cause that, or even know what a webapp is.
- joshuamorton 7y ago> Most people know Google’s webapps are slow Can you substantiate this with more than just your personal experience? This doesn't match my experience outside of the HN bubble.
- karatestomp 7y agoOf course it's just my personal experience, but almost all of that's with "normies". Teachers (they live in Google webapps), writers (=avoid because terribly slow and input-laggy on low-end hardware, which ought to be all you need if you're trying to make money writing rather than impress people at coffee shops—and anyway it's not a ton better on good hardware), various other non-tech folks. The ones who don't complain about it do complain about its effects on their machines, without realizing that's what's doing it.
