@scott fun fact: if you are not logged in on v3 and you land on a page from an external link, it is 1.5MB of JS. If you are not logged in on v4 and you land on a page from an external link, you get 6MB of JS (this is because they got rid of serverside static page rendering in most views, which solves a bunch of problems for devs and imo hurts users)

@darius I can't imagine all of that code is used logged out, is it? could lazy code loading help without the complexity of SSR?

@scott it is complex to get into but my sense is lazy loading would not really help here

@darius could approach from the other angle... add local posting support to Pinafore and make it the frontend for Hometown...

@scott yeah I'm talking with @tychi elsewhere in the thread about exactly that!

@scott @darius @tychi yes! speciation on the front end and letting lots of people hack on design and other approaches is great.

I call this the “MySpace” approach — can we get motivated end users to easily customize their interfaces.

My main idea was to take Pinafore and do GitHub Templates and set up “deploy to X” on various places.

Is there a space where I can help? Point others at to help?
