  It doesn't use or load jQuery any longer, however the dependency was still there ... Now I'm removing it. In the beginning, there was only jQuery. .... Then, for a while, there was also Angular, and for a short while, a tiny bit Angular Dart (I got on the hype train?). Then, there was a month removing all Angular things, and switching to React. And then ... Another month removing all jQuery things. There's still a disabled way of laying out a discussion in 2D, using the full width of the screen (nice with a 30'' monitor :- )) and then, for horizontal scrolling, jQuery was used. But all this 2D stuff is disabled nowadays (I like the 2D layout but it's a rarely used power user feature and I was too short of time so had to disable it). (The reason I removed jQuery, and use React only, was to improve performance — just parsing and executing the 30 kb min.js.gz jQuery bundle took maybe half a second? on mobile phones.)
