This site got me going. Almost had whiplash when I tapped a link and the page loaded literally instantly. I've almost forgotten that that's possible on the internet. I'm not a web dev, but I'm inspired to get into it now because of this site.
- darkvertex 9mo agoYou should try making a site with Astro. Load speed is cray cray.
- allthetime 9mo agoYeah I’m a recent Astro convert. To be fair, any static site will have this effect. It’s just everyone is using react to make landing pages now.
- robertoandred 9mo agoReact sites are easily static.
- mbreese 9mo agoStatic or pre-rendered static? I rarely come across the latter, but the former is pretty common.
- ethmarks 9mo agoWhat makes Astro fast isn't just that it's static, it's that it automatically pre-renders and it doesn't ship a runtime. React can render to static as well, it just also ships the React runtime.
- 1718627440 9mo agoI mean you also have HN as a reference.
- skeledrew 9mo agoI use an app for HN, and try to wherever I can due to my general experience with web things, so it's a different feel. But also HN being snappy is pretty much an upfront expectation given it's like 99.99% text.
- 1718627440 9mo agoTIL there is an HN app.
- skeledrew 9mo agoYep, several. I've found Hacki best for me so far, but actually I'm considering to make my own as there are a few pain points and extras I'd like handled, and it'd be a nice learning experience. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jiaqifeng.hacki https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jiaqifeng.hacki
- thedumbname 9mo agoTry uBlock Origin and most of your sites will load instantly (hint: most of the time it is third-party analytics/ads issue)
- skeledrew 9mo agoI have many blockers. Doesn't help performance at all IMO.
