I had a look — running it on Safari/OSX/High Sierra. it started fast and seemed responsive.
I couldn’t get it to start a SQL query session to put in some query to see how that went, bu I did click on a bunch of other things and it seemed very responsive.. which is what you want to know. I was able to put the URL into another tab and have two copies running. that was easy enough. Without a bunch of hoopla, I couldn’t get it to run in firefox or chrome to see how that might run. and it seems like it needs to be started from the app — as I couldn’t just stick the URL into second browser. the end goal — is use the browser. I”m not sure if that means I’ll be able to bookmark the URL and then just use it locally. if so… that might be nice. and getting a SQL session in another browser applicaiton .. that would be good too. just my thoughts.
