You don't have to go the 1980s to find equipment that can't keep up.
I have an older rev of a Digital Loggers web power switch, before they went to Linux.
In one lab setup at a previous job, I had to put it on a VLAN; broadcast traffic was killing its ethernet stack, making it hard to connect to its web UI.

tangent/feedback about the product: replacing abandoned desktop apps with a webapp with unknown future does not exactly excite me. Bundle this as a desktop app that works offline-first and you'll pique more interest.

Yeah, and I'm certainly not paying $20 a month - indefinitely - for it.

Fair point. We went web-first to bypass driver installation hell, but a local Tauri app for offline-first use is on the roadmap.

Strong disagree!
Zero install is a huge feature both to reduce friction and to save local storage. I don't want to install yet another synth I'll use twice a year.

Implementing in native code and compiling to WASM would make for a good compromise.

Zero install and locally stored, as one HTML file, or as a web bundle.

You can offer standalone exes without installers.

Nice retro-demo/motivation for "what's the point of protocols/abstraction layers"[0].
Use case argument for an add-on programmable logic array / micro controller board as security interface / non-standard to standard protocol translation.
We just throttle the Web MIDI stream in JS with 100ms pauses between packets so the 8-bit CPU doesn't choke.

I had the opposite problem where using my (recent-ish) cheap midi keyboard with WebMidi was crashing Firefox.

That's usually caused by cheap controller firmware flooding the connection with continuous Active Sensing signals (0xFE bytes every 300ms) or noisy clock jitter.

That's one way to look at it, but imo firefox shouldnt crash no matter how malformed the data is.
