    Admittedly mobile was a bit of an afterthought and I only tested it on 4 devices. What device are you using?

    What DiThi said (read his excellent post) There's also another important detail. Due to delayed ACKs on Windows and battery-preserving TCP stacks on most mobile devices/laptops, so…

    Are you using Chrome? Gamepad API is a bit buggy on 62.x

    Everything is running smoothly so it's not the HN effect. Might I ask what OS/Browser/ISP are you using?

    That is up to your keyboard hardware. Unfortunately, most consumer level keyboards can't handle that.

    I will definitely do a write-up but you're right. It's really hard to find info on any of that online. A lot of trial and error.

    Just plain ol' Websockets. But with a twist. I use 2 WS connections mirroring some packets on both, to deal with head-of-line blocking.

    Safari on iOS is generally buggy. WebGL and WebAudio are very glitchy. I don't have a BT KB so I didn't test that case. Will do!

    Let's Encrypt is great. I would like to see native ECC support and a more stringent validation mode that allows more than 3 months of certificate lifetime.

    I was hoping to see v8 6.2 make into the LTS but apparently it will be merged into a future 8.x release in a few months from now. v8 6.2 fixes a lot of Turbofan related regressions…
