Hmmmm... can you define a "poor connection"? The web used to work the "htmx"/hypermedia through all the dial-up years where things were REALLY slow. I see no reason it would not work now.
- winrid 3y agoliterally no connection at times. A queued request cannot be lost.
- winrid 3y ago"Hmmm I know better than you". Peak HN lol. This is for middle of the desert time tracking.

You and I don't have the same constraints and resources as Google.
