This update has made the SSR functionality basically useless by adding the interstitial pulsing placeholders… Any way we can disable those for the first pageload or something? because it’s driving me bonkers

On slow devices, it goes like this:

• The page loads (takes a few seconds),
• content loads in basically immediately
• I start reading/scrolling.
• After 1-2 seconds, the content that was loaded from the server initially disappears entirely, replaced by the placeholder animations
• then all that content is re-loaded, wasting time and data,
• after several seconds of that, the content is rendered again and I can actually browse.

afaik it was always wasting CPU cycles/data but the hip new animations took that background annoyance and made it an actual UX issue

As always thank you for the effort though, the next UI is intriguing though I don’t love the black and blue theming
