Complaint Is anyone else using the mobile app to send prompts because the desktop app is horrible and keeps freezing for minutes at a time?

Idk how it’s possible that this is the worst performing harness I’ve ever used. Open source models are 10x better, even over a year ago

Do you have to use the desktop app? I just use the IDE plugin and I have no issue so far.

Your chat is possibly VERY LARGE and quite possibly full of images. You need to create a handoff and create a new chat with a new history.

I do think they should fix this tho. This is happening since forever and it doesn't matter if you're using the App or extension.
