> The big selling-point is responsive UI, but I feel that should be the minimum we expect from software.
Agreed! That's a big part of what motivated us to build Godspeed.
> Perhaps some testimonials from organisations/teams that have used it would be a better thing to lead with than a strange technical statement which most users won't understand. I'm a fairly technical sort of guy myself and I don't exactly know off the top of my head what 50ms latency feels like or how it compares to other note taking software.
Appreciate that feedback! Today is our 1.0 launch, we'll definitely add some testimonials in the coming weeks.
For what it's worth, a response time of 100ms is perceived as instantaneous [0].
We say "<50ms" rather than "instantaneous" because a lot of companies will claim that their software is fast and not actually meet a specific threshold. This claim keeps us from cutting corners – we're serious about keeping everything blazing fast, even if that means it takes longer to build.

That's not true. From the source you cited:
> Increasing latency above 13 ms has an increasingly negative impact on human performance for a given task. While imperceptible at first, added latency continues to degrade a human’s processing ability until approaching 75 to 100 ms. Here we become very conscious that input has become too slow
The 100ms figure was in regard to conversational interactions with a computer.
Agreed! That's a big part of what motivated us to build Godspeed.
