Just because it's only presentation doesn't mean it's not bloat. Assuming this is a rendered JSON object that's still a ton of extra HTML elements and CSS to render/instantiate than should be necessary to produce the same effect and while that might not be noticeable on your top-end MBP with safari for a lot of devices it does.
It's also just poor craftmanship, I think that's what really bugs me.
- falien 16y agoIt would be bloat if, as the author irresponsibly implies, all it did was display the basic data of a single text message. In the case of that single instance for the author it may do that (I didn't care to look that closely), but it provides for much more to be possibly displayed, and much of that presentation can provide extra information to a viewer (or a machine for that matter). Also with modern javascript and html engine optimization, its not out of the realm of possibility that generating all of this every time is faster than only generating exactly what is required for each message.
