You aren’t alone
Bear with us means, ‘I’m about to do a bunch of description… shore up your mental banks and prepare to reread the next bit a few times.
Man
We need to take that section/link down.
We did do a KickStarter for the JamBlaster, made ~200 and shipped them.

But we are not in a position to be focusing on custom hardware.
... a dedicated device is half the puzzle. That, and a low-latency network connection to your peers. You have those two and you can get a reliable experience.
We see that too: 25ms one-way latency is the max to stay in sync, and that includes both internet + audio device encode/decode, which gets eaten up quite fast!
We are looking at providing an optional premium networking service to offer a faster connection as an alternative to the open internet. Nothing too expensive, like $10/month is the goal. Hope that gets you and your friends under that magic threshold when it's available, if you try it out.
We do have a tray icon too, though.
So when you browse to our site via the desktop app, certain OS-only features turn on.
So it made a bunch of sense to use QtWebkit. I welcome the switch to QWebEngine though, if for nothing else in the hopes that the underlying browser code gets a update and the app will hopefully then feel more responsive.
