I can't easily link to it because it's still live streaming but at 4:10 in they seem to be debugging a local internet/HTML error on their iPads. Next level debugging in production.

I just had to go find that for myself! Here's the link to 4:10:45 when they start talking about it - https://youtu.be/13OkD0C_TWU?t=15045

Related, I wonder if there's going to be a postmortem on this mission on the UI, because from the brief scenes when its shown updating or being clicked on, it looks to have a responsiveness on the order of half a second.

Just to clarify, the error they were seeing was in an app running on an actual portable iPad they carry, not the main screens mounted in front of the seats.

Think it’s Electron. Doesn’t surprise me. I wouldn’t want to take slack into space with me.

It is reportedly Chromium-based, not quite electron. UI is HTML with web components. Lots more details here: https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/gxb7j1/we_are_the_s...

I'm fairly certain there's no Electron on iPad (can't take Chrome to iPad). I also don't think that a native wrapper app that loads (local) html files would display a "Safari" error message.
It was probably just a cached/saved website saved to the home screen. I'm not a rocket scientist, but as a web developer, I would rely upon that for anything earth-bound, let alone in Space.
