Honestly, my realization that I spend so much of my time inside Chrome is the exact reason I have started looking for native apps instead of SaaS.

Chrome has become the problem for me more than anything, because as much they want to be the OS of the web - they're pretty terrible at it.

I agree with you and same here; I've moved my entire workflow to the browser. From Figma to my entire dev environment, it's all in the browser and Google handles everything else from accounts to preferences.

While that enables me to do most of my work on a low-performance tablet, it introduces a bigger (chrome) issue; latency. I've noticed that most input websites (Notion, Google Docs, etc.) have an input latency whereas native apps don't.

Notion honestly has the worst input latency, even on their Android app.

(Not only latency, but poor cursor management as well. I'll frequently hit return, see my blinking cursor on the line below, start typing, and I'll be typing in the previous line.)

Text-entry is possibly the least enjoyable part of Notion.

You're spot on.

I've caught myself writing text in my editor and then copying it into Notion. Makes me wonder why I'm still using Notion if its latency _that_ bad.

What editors do you use that have lower latency? I've found that Emacs is surprisingly low latency.

Curious how you define terrible in this case. Doesn't the fact that you spent so much time in the browser that you had to look for alternatives mean that it was in fact too good?
