I think their frontend needs a full redo or reimplementation ngl

I love it it’s simple and clean. I don’t need that GitHub chaos in my life. I’d improve the main timeline but they’re already Planning that so

yeah i mostly like it except for the lack of a search bar kills me , im always trying to remember peoples usernames and the URL format for profiles

the design is fine but it's horribly slow and non-reactive – htmx was not a good choice imo

sorry to hear this! i suspect a good amount of our "bad perf" will go away when we have more PoPs. the appview is currently served from sweden… which is pretty far from most of the world.

Ah yeah, that does make a lot of sense. I do feel though that an SPA for now would be better without needing more hardware -- the UI loads quicker & optimistically reacts while the AppView waits for the actual request
