> I switched from a Moonlander to a UHK, and the programming time is ~instant. You click flash and in 1-2 seconds it's done. For the Moonlander you have to download the firmware, find the file, drag and drop onto the flashing tool, and wait 10+ seconds. It's amazing how much of a difference that made for me.

Actually I point out you can use webusb to flash it (if you use Chrome) further down ...

That must be a new feature? This didn't exist when I got my UHK, and was why I ended up selling my Moonlander.

How long does the flash take? Having it in Chrome is a great step forward, but if it still takes 10-20s to flash that would still prevent the sort of feedback loop that I found so transformational.

Seconds. I mean, something on the order of that, anyway. Fast enough to iterate but I mean it's still the weakest link in the iteration chain of course.
