I don't know if it's really bloated but in terms of feeling terrible, it's Google Cloud's various dashboards. The underlying page loads in reasonably enough, but then everything on top is 'hydrated' on the go and it psychologically feels dragged out, like how pages used to load in the 90s but faster.
- dkarl 5y agoI haven't worked with Google Cloud dashboards much, but I feel like I recognize what you're talking about. I hate pages that load quickly with everything missing and then incrementally load all their components, even if it happens very quickly. As soon as the page comes up, my brain starts fruitlessly working to figure out how to interact with it, while it churns through its transformation into an actual working page. Instead of wasting my attention like that, just be honest and don't ask for my attention until you're ready for it.
