Am I being stupid or is the terminal window not responding to typing?

Are you using chrome? We can occasionally have some issues on some browsers. Sorry to hear that. A refresh will probably help

Firefox, but it's happening in both browsers I try.

edit: Apologies, it was due to my work's restrictive proxy that stopped several components from loading.

Awesome! Yeah websockets can be tricky in some environments

Like really? You are optimizing your product for (google's spyware) chrome? You are part of the problem.

"some issues in some browsers" - shouldn't fly in 2019, IE6 is gone!

Yeah, I'm super sorry, but there's 3 of us working on the whole frontend so it's not always easy. we're doing our best to support everything as much as possible

This is just a small company getting off the ground and you're going to bash them because they don't support every single browser that exists? Seriously, cut them some slack.

Feedback loop is extremely important, especially when the product is young. To grow, you need to learn and perfect your abilities same applies to software and companies. I did not leave that comment out of malice, I shared an important market feedback.

I think there are better ways to get that point across than opening with the tone of "Like, really?"
