May be getting some sort of HN hug of death. It seems there may be a websocket server error occuring causing an infinite loop of location.reload(true)?

    project:144 WebSocket connection to 'ws://mediator.ai/ws' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 200

    project:186 WebSocket error Event {isTrusted: true, type: "error", target: WebSocket, currentTarget: WebSocket, eventPhase: 2, …}
    socket.onerror @ project:186
    error (async)
    connectWs @ project:185
    buildPage @ project:437
    onload @ project:444

Oh, interesting - I'll take a look at the logs. Is this occurring consistently, or just occasionally? I haven't noticed anything myself.

If the latter it could be caused by temporary downtime when I update the code.

It's happening constantly for me but if there are no other claims I wouldn't worry about it. I am currently on our corporate network and its likely something is just getting blocked (IT are a bit overzealous with their toys...).

The UI could be better, but it is a great tool, I am sharing it with friends and family, how does it work? Is it a known algorithm?

Really appreciate the feedback.

The core algorithm is a constraint satisfaction algorithm called "Cassowary", which happens to be the same algorithm used to layout UIs on iOS and MacOS.

If you don't mind, what were the most significant problems you encountered with the UI?
