I agree with you and same here; I've moved my entire workflow to the browser. From Figma to my entire dev environment, it's all in the browser and Google handles everything else from accounts to preferences. While that enables me to do most of my work on a low-performance tablet, it introduces a bigger (chrome) issue; latency. I've noticed that most input websites (Notion, Google Docs, etc.) have an input latency whe…

Notion honestly has the worst input latency, even on their Android app. (Not only latency, but poor cursor management as well. I'll frequently hit return, see my blinking cursor on the line below, start typing, and I'll be typing in the previous line.) Text-entry is possibly the least enjoyable part of Notion.

You're spot on.

I've caught myself writing text in my editor and then copying it into Notion. Makes me wonder why I'm still using Notion if its latency _that_ bad.

For me, adding items/tasks to time bound columns/lists does not work for me. Sometimes I have inspiration to clear my list and sometimes I do not. I made https://easylists.app to solve my own problem. I want to make lists fast and essentially to treat them as throw away (just like pen and paper). Sometimes I have a "today" list. Sometimes I have a "Top 3" list. I change it up all the time.

Not exactly the same but similarly I made https://quicktodos.com for my wife and I to quickly share lists with real-time updating for things like going to the store or a daily task list. Funny how so many of these exist with slightly different takes on the problem!

Just some random feedback - I like the look and feel, but if I type quick enough, the order of my keystrokes doesn't match the order of operations.

For example, if I focus an empty text field to start entering list items, and I type this quickly: "1 (Enter) 2 (Enter) 3 (Enter)" I get something like "1" as the first item, "23" as the second item, and two empty items below, as if I had typed "1 (Enter) 2 3 (Enter) (Enter)".

What editors do you use that have lower latency? I've found that Emacs is surprisingly low latency.
