Yikes, those high CPU threads. Definitely needs some more polishing.
I’m just waiting for everything they haven’t killed to merge onto YouTube, at this point. Because that seems to be the direction things are headed.
Most (popular) programs are lagging because they’re all bundling an entire web browser to get around the cross-platform hurdle. Good in theory, bad in practice.
