I'm very interested in your product. However, I'd like to report a strange phenomenon: whenever I open your website's homepage, although it doesn't seem to use a lot of memory, my Chrome becomes extremely laggy, and afterwards my entire Mac OS becomes very slow. The first time I encountered this, I couldn't determine the cause. I closed all applications and rebooted my computer. After working perfectly for a while, I reopened your website, and my Chrome and OS became almost unresponsive. After rebooting my computer again, without opening any other applications, just Chrome and your website, and it immediately became nearly unresponsive again. Therefore, while I'm not entirely sure, it seems highly related to your website.
It could be the three.js shader on the page that they use which renders in the background. I think you may be able to disable shaders to test but not sure. Been awhile.
By jjm 2025-12-204:32 Want to point out, it does run pretty quick on my iPhone surprisingly (and faster than my other dev laptop :-P). Almost forget how much power phones have...
By bojangleslover 2025-12-2010:581 reply We fixed this, please try again, also if anyone knows how to run a Three.js shader without exploding people's laptops I am very open to suggestions.
By nextaccountic 2025-12-2014:32 curiously other pages with three.js demos at the landjng page like svelteflow.dev/ doesn't have this issue
i think the trick is to not attempt to render at each frame (that is, don't try to provide something similar to a game engine). just render it based on user input, like the page I linked
By _ea1k 2025-12-204:54 Yeah, I had the same experience. It made the page basically unusable for me.
By brabel 2025-12-2010:22 Oh wow, same thing on my oldish Macbook Air from 2018, using Firefox. Completely unusable.
By nilslice 2025-12-208:38 It's good of you not to jump to any conclusions!
By navane 2025-12-209:45 Same on my low end android phone
By leetrout 2025-12-205:16 It is also terrible to scroll on iOS with power saver turned on.
By mystifyingpoi 2025-12-205:28 Same here.

Seriously though, this looks really cool. And I'm always happy to see other NC folks representing on HN.
I could see using your service for some stuff, so who knows, we may be sending some business your way. It wouldn't be much (for now), but hey...
By bojangleslover 2025-12-2010:441 reply If you need more trial credits than our pitiful $1 email me at derek@carolinacloud.io. We were inundated with crypto miners from Russia so we had to ban all .ru domains from signing up + shrink the free trial.
People on HN are obviously legit users so anyone reading this please email me at derek at carolinacloud.io and we will give you $250 free credits at least or maybe more if your workload requires it!
By dotancohen 2025-12-2013:38 What type of workflows do you support? My startup is running a lot of Whisper on user-provided audio clips. Is that something we could run on your servers? If so, I'll email you for trial credits.
Something is really really off with the website I would suggest a remake of the front-end as unfortunately it seems to miss the mark. The product seems genuinely valuable so don't get lost in that crazy background thing - focus on what information should be delivered - outline the important stuff - rn it broke my browser and it feels like you don't have the right focus. I closed it and just don't want to be bothered engaging more with it otherwise than writing this stinky commentary unrelated to what you actually deliver. Keep up the great work it seems you have done the most !
By bojangleslover 2025-12-2010:40 Thanks for the honest feedback. We just fixed this, I was hoping people wouldn't stick around on the landing page for too long since our console lets you do almost everything without needing an account. That assumption was obviously misguided!
