Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Update on the issue (and the solution)

It seems like a possible solution (at least to me) is to probably avoid having a generator tab open with so many comment frames at once, as they're constantly filling up the whole TCP connection with requests for listening for new comments every time, which is what's causing the "stalled" problem every time I load and save generators.

See this comment for a reference.

Update 1: Now I've just sort of reproduced this by opening the Comments Plugin tab while one of my generators is saving, and then after the tab is being open and then closed, the saving process just stalled out of nowhere.


Recently I was hit by the problem where the saving process just stuck in the background, and when I checked the DevTools Network, there's a lot of stalled connections when fetching a few resources required for the generator page to fully load. The stall eventually ends for a short time (1-30 min), but sometimes even longer (30-60 minutes), and even after that, it's either still hangs on "saving" whatsoever, or it rolls back to the perviously "unsaved" state.

I also got the problem with loading generators too, where it hangs very frequently now, for the same reason, except that I sometimes get an ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR from the console whenever the generator fails to load after the stalled connections.

Is this maybe just because of the internet connection, my browser, or probably the "cache-busting" issue in the end? I tried logging into my other browser (Firefox) and saving the same generator and found no issues. It also loads generators perfectly fine.

I haven't been editing/creating (and saving) generators lately, so I haven't experienced some delays (might also because my timezone might be on the opposite where the traffic might be high). Also haven't experienced it (or maybe not realized that there was a problem) so I'll keep it in mind!
