Interesting choice of gatekeeping you do here. Complain that it's a "web application" instead of a website, then claim that web applications cannot be built for developers. And to round it all off, whine about scrolling latency, that it has a spinner, and that it "doesn't respect navigation controls", whatever that means. Did I miss anything, or does this sum the contents of your post? The funny thing, is that it is a website, web applications can be built for developers, the scrolling doesn't lag on my device, the spinner doesn't bother me, and it completely respects my navigation controls. I think you have a "you" problem, and enjoy projecting it at anything that doesn't fit into your mental model of how the world "should be". Go solve that, and you can come back and be a productive participant in these conversations.

I can't believe I have to say this but your experience is not universal. On several of my devices that are plenty fast enough for pretty much anything else, the scrolling is still pretty laggy. Looking at CPU usage I see that having this page open, eats an unnecessary amount (>70%) of CPU for what appears to be a static page, so there's definitely something not quite right there.

  You and I are in agreement, that no one's experience is universal. That is why I was compelled to respond to aerzen, who was very much claiming that his experiences and viewpoints are universal across all developers. Odd that you responded to me saying this, as I made no claims about my experience being universal, I was quite obviously just speaking for myself as an exception to their universal claims. Go read the parent comment again, you still have time to edit yours and point it in the right direction.

  The more I re-read the comments, the more ludicrous it seems for you to target your comment at me. The parent poster I understand, but you... Why exactly did you think I was making universal claims for all developers, especially given the parent comment? I cannot find an interpretation of my comment that even suggests that is the case. What were you thinking?
