This is the first of a four part series on slow public service websites and the Javascript frameworks that drag them down. It brings to mind this post from Marco Rogers: "Phanpy has a page that presents just the ui for composing a new message.https://phanpy.social/compose/ The react component for just this compose box is 3400 lines of code. There is no way that this is where we wanted to end up." All this is interesting to me because I would like to build an application that mostly lives in the browser, so the user isn't dependent on a specific server. But how, without bloating the script? Though I've resolved to keep it framework-free.
