One thing I like about HN is its lightweight, unobtrusive, and respectful design. ---- Hacker News: 7 requests 61.10 KB / 20.65 KB transferred Finish: 1.04 s DOMContentLoaded: 484 ms load: 876 ms Doesn't require JS Doesn't have a floating top bar Doesn't load content from third-party domains ---- Strength News: 13 requests 1.07 MB / 358.76 KB transferred Finish: 2.28 s DOMContentLoaded: 1 s load: 1.39 s Requires JS Has a floating top bar Loads content from third-party domains, including tracking scripts --- That criticism aside, I like the concept, and would probably use it if it had active discussions, like HN.

  It loads absolutely slowly
  - diminoten 8y ago
    Strictly speaking, it's relatively slow, not absolutely slow. If websites all loaded in 10s and this one loaded in 1s, it'd be blazing fast. That said, it took 1.74s to load for me, I wouldn't call that slow by any stretch of the word.

      Not when I looked at it. In fact, when I looked at it, nothing was loading.

I like the concept too. Unfortunately due to all those things loading it wouldn’t work in Safari on iOS. I use Firefox Focus as an ad blocker and I suspect it doesn’t like a bunch of the techniques used to load content.

If you want active discussions, r/gainit or r/fitness isn’t too bad. As well as the weightlifting subreddits — really nice and supportive folks there.

  i guess r/weightroom would be the best match. it has daily threads reserved for banter but is otherwise well moderated. r/bodybuilding is pure meme, r/weightlifting pretty focused on the sport itself. r/fitness has a lot of questions by beginners who ask the same thing every single day. i don't know r/powerlifting, but i heard it's very memey too. nah, imo r/weightroom is the best, but as a newcomer, please lurk for a couple of weeks until you learn the rules and culture.

    There's also /r/AdvancedFitness.

Something like http://handlr.sapico.me/ http://handlr.sapico.me/ ? :p My own creation. Use it as a RSS-reader, todo list and Post to HN now. I have some variaties running of it, eg. for my current city where i live.

  Like HN with tags. Very cool! I wish it did not require an email address to sign up. On HN it is optional.

    It's the default on asp.net actually and it makes sense, had a lot of spam at first.

This is great feedback to help optimize the site but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it u til you’ve proven the concept. As an early iteration I’m glad you made a useful tool and you shipped it. Optimizing bundle sizes is much easier than making something useful. That being said, getting feedback like this helps you spot ways to make it better. I’m on an iPhone X with very good data most of the time so my opinion is going to be biased toward not caring about 1MB of js that will be cached in future visits.
