The strange thing for me is how much time we spent in the early 2000s discussing website responsiveness and quick loading times as ways to improve user engagement and productivity. Although I can't provide any statistics that I'm intimately familiar with, I recall reading numerous case studies where improvements in responsiveness resulted in significant productivity gains for end users. If I recall correctly, this wasn't just about dial-up connections and multi-second page loads. This belief was still prevalent even when discussing sub-second responsiveness.
Perhaps the direction of the case studies started to shift, and we stopped hearing about it. However, it seems to me more like we pushed hard to reach a certain level of speed in our computer usage, then became complacent, and have been regressing ever since.
This is awesome. I've wanted to go down this route for a while. Every time, I basically give up at the point where I decide I want to check out https://opensfx.com and then realize I don't have an easy way to get a referral.
I'm currently using a NLR Wheel Stand, and probably don't have time to build right now, but if you'd consider shooting me an email at chris at cjkinni.com I'd love a chance at actually going down the route of building one of these. No worries if you'd prefer not to.
Here is a comment on the code directly from a contributor at Microsoft:
> @AnuthaDev We‘re quite aware about the code and are extremely happy about what was created there. I mean it seriously: It sets a great goal for us to strive for.
Unfortunately the code is intentionally GPLv2 licensed and we‘ll honor this wish entirely. As such no one at Microsoft will ever look at either of the links.
> I‘m the person who‘s tasked with building an equivalent solution and you may subscribe to #10461 to get updates of my progress. Unfortunately our existing project isn’t straight forward to modify the same way we could build a terminal from scratch. A lot of parts of this project must be rewritten and as such it‘ll take a bit for us to catch up. But we will - it’s only a matter of time.
