It's an interesting idea, but why would I use this over an app for my phone (pretty much any smartphone or an iPod touch) when the app is free or $0.99 one time. A quick search brings up an app by Drugs.com, for example. Are there any compe

The thing he mentioned was startup time, though, not the actual input lag.

I just built a wall of text app using Node.JS and Socket.io... It's just sort of an experiment and break for me, but let me know what you think.

I've never heard of Railway before-- I'll definitely take a look because it actually looks pretty interesting.

Sure it is. Yes, the web socket connection is passing through requests to the browser-server, but that browser-server is the one responding.

That's actually pretty interesting. With time the number of computers/processors required to do these tasks will go down, but for now and based on that experiment, it almost seems more efficient to use picture based captchas.
