#12why are web apps always so janky. no offense to the op's app. This is just universal. Every web app I've ever used feels like crap.
"Every" is too strong, but it's common, I agree. I infer it is very challenging to get things to work across web platforms (browsers and OS versions).

#13Definitively not made for lightweight mobile, tried on two browsers (Harmonic HN Client's Webview and Via Browser) and the website crashed my phone.
Worked perfectly fine on Brave on Android.

#14I just made a few of our data analysts drool showing them this. Nice work!

I'm having issues with it loading in Safari (14.1.2) on OS X, but it seems to be loading fine with Firefox (111.0.1) for me. Its pretty zippy too, and this computer is no spring chicken...

#16Awesome project.
If there is ever a project that needed an electron app it’s this one. I’d love to have a Perspective.app that efficiently loads local data style files.

Their demos performed fine for me on both desktop and mobile. Not sure what the issue is here, you're allowed to require some baseline performance level for something like this.

#18This looks pretty awesome. What's the catch? There has to be something :)

#19These aren't accessible at all. Did you try using the components with a screen reader, with just a keyboard and in high contrast modes?
They look amazing but I'm a bit puzzled to why in 2023, a11y would not be a priority.
Even this landing page itself isn't keyboard friendly.

It's because web tech itself is crappy and the ecosystem surrounding it is a complete cesspool.
