No mention of ChatGPT? Anyone else have this problem:

Go to ChatGPT.com while logged in, start typing right away, 8 words into typing it clears the text in the form. Why?

Claude also has odd UI/UX bugs in what is almost literally a single page web application.

t3.chat solves this pretty well. I believe they utilize convex db. I think it’s something like a backend server process is the true connection and state of the chat. The front end syncs and receives updates from it.
