Stability of Kaya

Post by SpongeBob »

I just checked out kaya again - besides conanbatt and me, 3 (in words: three) other users were logged on. There was a forth user with an open game offer ... I was able to chat with the user, but he was not displayed in the user list on the left! Invisible he was, so to speak.

The last time I checked the server, I was playing against a bot and the whole thing froze at the end of the game and none of the two clocks was running anymore.

How come bugs like this are not fixed by now? How come fancy features are implemented, but the most basic things are not working properly?

Sorry for the rant, but this really bugs me ...

Simply because Kaya is no longer being actively developed...

It's good to find some other alternatives.

I am sorry to say it, but to me Kaya appears to be.. hmm.. somewhat uncomfortable. The UI is disastrous and the way to get games is quite poor.

Yes, it has some nice features, but they are not intuitively usable.

I'll check back there once these problems have been solved.

In the meantime I check out nova.gs. This seems to be an interesting alternative for the time being.
