Not sure if this is a known issue but I tried to load the site 3x in Firefox. Caused the tab to stop responding with a "Script is slowing down Firefox" error. Each time I had to close the tab. Opened the site in Chrome with no issue.

View on HN

Yeah, the document loaded in the editor is nearly 1 MB by now. This document has grown over the last months. Over the last days there were 100 users concurrently typing in the document, some times pasting in 20k words, deleting it, pasting it in again … And Y.js (what we use) stores the whole history, and currently is blocking the main thread until the first state is downloaded and applied.

I create a new document, wait a moment …

The collaborative editor seems seems to be struggling with the load test of visitors, combined with some people putting a lot of content into the editor--it looked like the entire Bee Movie script was in there.

Would you mind to try again? It’s a fresh document now, after growing for months. It’s working smoothly for me again.

It still seems to struggle with the current amount of visitors, but I doubt it needs to scale to ~120 people or whatever is on there now.

I added three rooms to split the traffic, that seems to help a lot. :-)

Nice!

Same for me on Firefox, borked the tab got a popup to kill it.

Some people pasted whole books into the editor. In combination with more than 100 people using it concurrently, that’s not working that well. I limited the character count, it should be way more performant now.

Coming back to this it looks good! I'll be looking to use this instead of Trix next time I need a WYSISWYG editor, nice job :)

Same issue: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
