r/capacitiesapp

Been using capacities as a paying user for over 18 months but over the last month the app has just become unusably slow. Pages take 2-3 seconds to load, collections 4-5 seconds. Previously there used to be some glitchy-ness on large pages but now the whole app is just stuttering. I don't use it for any media or pdf embeds, its just pure notetaking, so no idea what's causing the slowdown.

Tried logging out and logging back in, re-installed the app etc. No improvements. Using a Asus Zenbook + Windows. Laptop is fine and plenty of empty RAM. Was working buttery smooth till about a month ago.

Really don't want to have to go back to obsidian but after 5-6 years of dabbling, imo it's the only software that stays rapid as your database grows :/

Capacities is my everything app, if you would. A bunch of casepaper for each case. Everything i do is a casepaper, and then each one has its log updates in a paragraph, followed by next actions, a task app I've created. And wow! I'm done. 🙂👍

I'm a long time vault user with markdown so genuinely curious how Capacities beats this setup which in my mind gives true 100% flexibility. My markdown vault is Git backed and filled with agents that can intelligently update and commit on it's own so I have an easy audit trail. I'd lose that with Capacities to some degree I'd imagine
