New reddit is painfully slow to login. So much javascript for a simple dialog to load it's absurd.

  As long as old and compact reddit are still there, I'm fine with it. Twitter on other hand has no lightweight version, unfortunately.

    I think I recall someone mentioning there is one that you get if you send an empty User-Agent.

      If JavaScript is disabled in your browser and you visit mobile.twitter.com, you get a link to proceed to "legacy Twitter", which is their pre-React mobile site.

    Twitter's redesign is one of the most performant SPA's I've seen in a while. It's really smooth and nicely designed too. A lot better than their previous webapp.

      Do you know any others? Every time I’m redirected to twitter on mobile I’m in awe, it’s genuinely the only SPA I’ve ever experienced work “properly” on my phone comparable to a native app without any polish.

      When I open a Tweet I look at spinner animations for 10 seconds. Scrolling is also the opposite of smooth.
      • benbristow 7y ago
        Scrolling is silky smooth for me and spinners go away quickly. What hardware are you running?
        • zuzun 7y ago
          For their infinite scrolling, they clean the DOM above and below the viewport and only keep a certain amount of tweets rendered. So once you start scrolling a little faster, the JavaScript can't keep pace and starts sputtering.
