Bsky highlights the contradiction at the heart of React's bezzle: in order to support RN (supporting app store gatekeepers), it creates a model that makes the (open, interoperable, free) web site shite to use...pushing people to apps. This is not pro-open-web.

For the avoidance of doubt, that 2(.4)MB of JS is 2.4MB *compressed*. Unzipped it's more than 7MB. There are smaller dictionaries.

bsky.app/profile/jpsc... Yep, it's kinda sad. I hope they can improve when they have the capacity

Fonts are blocking the render and they take 3x 500kb, also the main 2 js bundle are ~2mb and takes ~4.8sec just for the server response (empty cache)

"the capacity"? Nolan Lawson singlehandedly built Pinafore for Mastodon. @mary.my.id singlehandedly built Skeetdeck. It's not about resources, it's about priorities.

I know, just trying to give the team a break while their priority is scaling up. I've seen you talk multiple times I know that you know how things get to this state, but I still want to believe people will do better given the opportunity.

OMFG, the fonts are served *as TTF files*!!!!! Christ on a cracker.
