I really hate to be that guy but I can't bear it anymore.
Is it just me or Contra is absolutely buggy and slow?
To the extent that my mental context has adjusted to how slow navigation is. I will literally click a button and go do something else.
I can't even reliably copy messages in a chat.
Hyper links don't want, sometimes.
There's no reliable way to collect upfront payment and still setup milestone on the same project.
Why can't we get instant notification when clients message? This is like a core need.
Don't get me started on the PWA app.
The list goes on.
Contra has become more expensive than when I first joined, yet the quality of the platform has degraded.
This is not a hate speech or some random spam. My hope is that others will speak out and get the Contra team to actually work on what really matters and stop shipping sloppy UX coated with good design.
I literally had to copy this post before sending because you never can tell.
You’re completely right about this. Most especially when you’re creating services and uploading portfolio (case at) @contra that should improve on it
What I do is prepare the entire content somewhere else then copy paste. Not ideal.
Mine is fine 🤷‍♂️
That's good to know, at least maybe not everyone is experiencing it.
I will do my best to share some references, hopefully this thread will be useful
Can't select multiple messages to copy.
Links are inconsistently rendered. If i don't remember adding a space, the hyperlink will not trigger/render.
Copy pasting is usually a hack
