- Solvency 3y agoTrack you, probably with a thousand layers of redundancy, tech bloat, and decades of mold.
- ndriscoll 3y agoA lot of them appear to be that they've split their javascript into a gazillion files for whatever reason (I suppose because they have several MB of it). But someone or lots of people there did seem to get addicted to dynamic loading. Like I've got 100 or so friends, but my friends page loads them 8-16 at a time as I scroll. Just send all 100 and set the profile pictures to deferred fetch. It'd probably be smaller than the js they have to make it do "infinite" scroll. Similarly, after getting to the bottom of their "infinite" scroll, my friend feed (which is annoyingly hidden away) gives me... 15 items. Just send me all 15. It's like 1-2 kB worth of data. If you're going to end the scroll after a dozen items, why is it using infinite scroll?
