warning about slow internet connection

[williamcodes]

As a user, I want to be notified when my slow internet connection is causing problems in the UI So that I know to find a better internet connection and not blame the app for poor performance.

By Way Of Explanation: This came up at JOOR during a large meeting. People at first thought that the app was struggling to handle the load of 15 users.

@williamcodes @imaginista I'm curious about the minimal viable solution here. Just a wifi icon (with some alt text that [conditionally] surfaces that some features may feel unresponsive)? And we check the wifi at an interval of every 30 seconds?

@vanderhoop I think you could go the route of material design and just surface a system notification somewhere in the corner. Some more on that here: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/instant-and-offline/offline-ux

@vanderhoop sounds good to me
