But… why does it lag? Shouldn’t this be trivial enough to be instant?
I wonder if it would be more instant if they used postMessage api instead of going over network.
Going over local network is more or less instant

#92Really great. The web is really going forward
Seems like this was all possible 10+ years ago with existing APIs at that time. I don’t see what’s so special tbh.

#93The available API's on the web are very questionable. Feross has a web security lecture series on youtube where he showed off the following abomination. Enter at own risk. https://theannoyingsite.com/
holy shit, I was not expecting that LOL

#94I'm old enough to remember a bunch of demos using window position/dimensions from back in the day. I remember one with a physics simulation. I can't remember if it was liquid or just a bunch of solids, but you could drop things from one window to the other.
IIRC you don't even need the sockets. One can simply use message channels between the windows. If a window opens child window, iirc it has special access over it (I say special, because usually different tabs/windows are isolated from one another) which might make a local-only version easy to implement too.

Background windows/tabs getting a lower priority maybe a factor.

What, thieves? Make your stuff from zero, like the rest of us!
Pretty sure this is tongue-in-cheek, given the commenter (pretty high profile dev who creates a lot of cool stuff and does not shy away from using other open source code!) :)
that was super cool of you. Before letting people make the incorrect assumption, you hit em off at the pass. good people right there

It lived up to its name for sure!!

I assume you mean BroadcastChannel?

Browser Ball maybe? https://experiments.withgoogle.com/browser-ball
