As a user I want an indication how my remote connection is doing. There are many states:
- connecting
- connected
- reconnecting
- disconnected
- offline
We want a new state to indicate a slow connection.
Today we have different ways how to convey connection state:
Connecting
Connected
Reconnecting
Disconnected
Offline
The "offline" indicator is actually only being shown when using a web browser and is not specific to remote connections at all.
An idea of how to indicate a slow connection is from the remote indicator as well:
Though maybe the icon is not best.
Hm an idea I had was to reuse the warning icon and actually indicate the latency to the user:
I should probably bring this to a UX call.
@bpasero you ended up just using warning, correct?
Yes I think that is fine.
