"Logon" is derived from the Greek "logos" ("speech") because when people log on they forget how to shut the fuck up

I don't give a fuck about self-driving cars.
I want free, public, A+ quality transport for everyone and cities that don't project mobility as "having a car"

My challenge to web developers is this: I should be able to type as fast into your text input as I can into a plain-old <input> or <textarea> with no JavaScript handlers on them. If I can't, then the event handlers should be debounced, and/or they should do less JavaScript work.

Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. No judgement whatsoever. Asking this for research on a WIP article:
Do you #selfhost 
? If so:
- What do you host yourself?
- Do you use an existing toolchain (Ansible/Puppet scripts, Yunohost, etc)?
- Do you run it bare metal, virtualized or containerized? Which one?
Boosts appreciated 
The bad part of a single-page app is that some developer had to reinvent a bunch of what the browser does already. The good part is I, a hacker, get a free API that I can use for my own purposes.
Not that I'm a devout #agile person, but this rings true:
"Agile believes that your customers can’t define the software they want before seeing it, so it’s best to show them sooner rather than later."
