I mentioned it because I used it just now, because of this story, and I found it too slow to really be usable. It's, you know, a comment on the submission. Other sites are fast (e.g. HN).
If they use a lot of javascript, that might be slowing it down on my eeePC; but it doesn't seem to be javascript heavy. I wonder what it is. Incidentally, git itself is lightening fast on the eeePC.
EDIT on checking, they do have a fair bit of javascript. Most of their users, on fast machines, wouldn't be affected. A "githublite" version would be nice (like slashdot and reddit have), and might even increase sales marginally. I just tired adblocking their js, and it approx. doubled the loading speed (from 10 sec to 5 sec). Still too slow.
- samdk 17y agoThat still seems really slow to me. I just tested my Eee, and it was loading in about 2s (in both Firefox and Chrome). Granted, I am in the US right now, and that might be helping, but my connection is not particularly good at the moment either.
- grandalf 17y agosame here, i'm actually using an eeepc to read HN at the moment too and github is plenty fast.
