“Scrintal is slow!”
“Can you please, drop everything else and improve the performance?”
These are the nightmare chants for anyone building software. This is the point when you know that you need to prioritise performance, even if it means you can’t ship new features for sometime.
Focusing fully on the performance was exactly what we did for the last two months. We poured all our efforts into a major performance overhaul. When we say major, we actually mean HUGE changes in the overall app performance, responsiveness, speed, and thus the experience 🚀
Here’s a sneak look into our amazing results👇
Our huge performance update is out 🚀
Initial load of the app is 10x faster
Previously, users with tens of thousands of cards experienced a long initial load time. Now, regardless of the size of their archive, the initial load is 10x faster.
The initial loading of Scrintal is 16x faster
What’s even better is that you don’t need to wait for the initial load to start working. You can easily write, open cards, and navigate to any board while we retrieve your archive.

Instant kick-start
Even during the initial load time, you can navigate to the cards and boards browse pages, and scroll endlessly. We hope you’ll also love finding your cards from last year and instantly checking them out 👀

More responsive than ever
Scrintal is more responsive than ever. Opening boards with endless cards and links used to take at least 10 seconds before being fully responsive. Now you can open boards with hundreds of cards and instantly work on them.
Navigating huge boards is a breeze 🍃
If you use links extensively, and thus have huge boards, you’ll especially love this.
Loading your archive is 19x faster 🏃
What we’ve done
To achieve such a major performance update, we made drastic changes to the way we sync, store and structure the data.
Improved the way data is synced
We’ve revamped the way your data syncs with Scrintal. The cloud sync is more stable and faster than ever. Now, even when you’re offline, your documents remain readily accessible. Whether you’re on a remote expedition, or just experiencing a momentary internet hiccup, rest assured that your work won’t be interrupted.
But what about when you’re online? Well, our real-time collaboration features have undergone significant enhancements too. With faster response times, collaborating on projects with your team feels smoother than ever.
Collaboration is faster than ever ⌛
You can safely say goodbye to lag and hello to seamless cooperation across all your cards and boards.
Changes to how the data is stored and structured
In addition to syncing improvements, we’ve also made changes to how data is stored and structured within the app. This translates to lightning-fast access, ensuring that browsing through your documents feels like a breeze.
With all our updates, your data is even safer in Scrintal.
What’s next
This major update is just the beginning. With an app that is faster and can adapt to your needs, we’re now focusing on enhancing the canvas to elevate it to the next level.
Our next updates will push the limits of the canvas!
