[QUOTE="Algorithmancer, post: 9700690, member: 7053182"] [USER=29398]@Lanefan[/USER] apologies I missed this one, its a good question! Here's my personal thoughts on its tech/bandwidth requirements on all of the tools I mentioned. For context I run everything on my 2022 Macbook Air. [B]Obsidian Tech[/B]: Low, though YMMV. I've had no performance issues ever even with many pages/links across pages, its very optimized. However this obviously might change significantly depending on the size of your project and how many plugins you use. [B]Bandwidth[/B]: Low, super fast since its just mostly text, sometimes some images. [B]Kanka Tech[/B]: Low-Med, have had my browser lag a bit. Feels a bit clunkier than Obsidian, though this might be because its browser based instead of a proper app. [B]Bandwidth[/B]: Low, super fast since its just mostly text, sometimes some images. [B]Roll20 Tech[/B]: Med-High. I ran into the same issues as you mentioned, it sometimes does feel a bit laggy/clunky. This is probably expected since its a feature packed VTT running in the browser. [B]Bandwidth[/B]: High, loads alot of elements and also considering its voice/video chat. [B]Saga20 Tech[/B]: Low, haven't really had any issues with the app itself tech wise [B]Bandwidth[/B]: Med-High - the file uploads and processing takes quite a bit of time since the audio files i upload are usually 200+ mbs. [B]PrintableHeroes [/B] N/A [B]Syrinscape Tech[/B]: Low, haven't really had any issues with the app itself tech wise [B]Bandwidth[/B]: Low - haven't run into much issues since its just audio files [/QUOTE]
