My Nextcloud instance runs reasonably well on the server side, and my desktop and phone are able to render the web UI reasonably fast when I want to…but I also have a tablet with slow hardware and wifi that is just unusably slow with the Nextcloud web UI. Like, it’ll take multiple seconds to render the login page, but only on this one device.
Does anyone know of an alternative web UI for Nextcloud that’s optimized for downloading and rendering on slow connections/hardware?
Edit: I’m already using Nextcloud, and I’m using it for quite a few different services, some of which have native apps available, some of which don’t, and of course even when an app is available, not all the features are implemented in it. The specific device I’m dealing with here is a Linux tablet, so while I can use native desktop applications for some features, it’s not like it can just run Android apps. But the problem would apply to any comparably low-powered hardware like, say, an old laptop that can run native apps and efficiently-designed web applications well enough, but struggles with modern throw-a-million-javascript-libraries-at-it web development.
If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.
But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.

@KelsonV You ‘could’ do “ssh nextcloudserver -l www-data php occ list”, if you allow interactive login with your webserver user.
