As a user I want an indication how my remote connection is doing. There are many states:

  • connecting
  • connected
  • reconnecting
  • disconnected
  • offline

We want a new state to indicate a slow connection.

Today we have different ways how to convey connection state:

Connecting

Connected

Reconnecting

Disconnected

Offline

The "offline" indicator is actually only being shown when using a web browser and is not specific to remote connections at all.

An idea of how to indicate a slow connection is from the remote indicator as well:

Though maybe the icon is not best.

Hm an idea I had was to reuse the warning icon and actually indicate the latency to the user:

I should probably bring this to a UX call.

@bpasero you ended up just using warning, correct?
