The UI on this app is spectacular actually . I want to sit down with the team that wrote it and just ask questions for days.


Performance is poor on my older laptop. Maybe I'm getting to the point where web devs should leave me in the dust, but, it's also a shame to waste resources on newer systems. I suspect the problem is that it's built on React, which struggles with large data sets.

If the team is reading this, I'd bring up a point made on the Netflix dev blog: the key to great React perf is doing the expensive stuff outside of React. Do it low-level, stitch it in with lifecycle callbacks. You can end up keeping most of your code in React's world, while fixing most of the performance problem.


There's a decent chance some of them are reading this thread; what would you want to ask them?
