I really love the concept and I've used it since August, but I frequently return to the app and it starts "reloading" making me concerned that I'm missing notifications. It's also frustrating that my configuration doesn't transfer between computers which I do frequently.

Indeed the reason why you see this reloading is because we have built an auto-sleep algorithm that allows us to make sure you never have more than 8 processes open at the same time (and therefore affecting CPU or memory usage). For apps like Gmail or Slack (apps on which you are expected to receive notifications) we always keep the page active. Ultimately we plan on supporting notifications for apps even if they are inactive but it's not possible for all apps.

For which app are you experiencing reloading that makes you fear you are missing applications? We might have missed some use cases.

Yes we plan on allowing you to use Station across different devices, it's been requested by a lot of users.

Do browsers not have the concept of Background App Refresh when the tab is not active or visible? Do popular apps like Gmail or Slack not support this?

I could swear I've seen it reload on slack, whatsapp, circleci, and clubhouse. Can't wait for the cross-device features. Thanks!

Whatsapp, Circleci and Clubhouse definitely possible if you haven't looked at it in a while and opened a lot of new pages.

As for Slack it shouldn't!
