For the last 20 minutes or so, I’ve been getting frequent 504 errors. This is happening on both Safari on my phone as well as Firefox on my MacBook. It will give a small popup and recommend that I refresh the page, but then it just pops up again a few seconds later. FWIW, none of the functionality seems to stop working when this error alert occurs.
This is happening both while reading as well as while practicing.
Could be because I was deploying a few small changes time. Has it stopped now?
Just tried again and another 504 error appeared after a few pages.
It probably won’t help much since it’s so vague, but this is the exact error I’m seeing in the dev console:
Server error response: 504 ( 504 Gateway Time-out

I’ve actually experienced the exact same thing happening. This pop-up is quite distracting.
Sorry! I’ve just fixed the bug that was almost certainly causing this. Please let me know if it continues.
Now I’m getting this one even though my connection is fine. I would suggest making these messages less intrusive.
Hi @banshee_nocturno. Thanks for reporting. I’ve noticed this too. It would happen consistently when waking up my e-ink tablet, since the WiFi takes a few seconds to initialize. I’ve now changed the behavior so that if a server request fails to due lack of internet connectivity it will retry 3 times and only if it hasn’t managed after 30s have passed will it show the notification. (I think the notification is still potentially useful just to let you know that actions you are performing, e.g. editing or practicing a word, aren’t getting saved to the server)
