This is my feedback on extremely poor performance of this single reactive component. I hope developer of this component never makes a single webpage. If a single component is that slow and unresponsive, as you see on my video, the webpage (or even worse MOBILE APP) would probably require 16 core Ryzen to render smoothly and scroll up and down on it.

I play on this laptop Civ V (minimal requirements [1]) on this laptop, but can't a single web-widget? This is tragic quality.

Constructive or not, looks like author didnt test it on every browser on a lower-performance hardware like 10year old CPU, eg. maybe i3. If I use this widget in my development and we give a product with this widget to customer who runs IE11 or EDGE on i3 from 2012, it will be my problem to fix it. I will complain to the developer, we all waste time and resources.

If developer of a thing wants to show us something they're proud of. Test it, benchmark it, show it. Never let us, users benchmark and test your stuff, you will get blacklisted for that poor quality and performance software quickly.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

To many times I’ve seen these kind of comments on GitHub, HN, ShowHN.

Our field is filled with people who lack a 101 in constructive feedback and context awareness and it breaks my heart. Who would like to ever contribute again if this was the response they got on their first contribution?

Still condescending if you ask me. Be constructive, his work is free and nobody forces you to use it. If your goal was to help the guy...you failed; "that had to be a challenge, but you did it".

Incredibly poor attitude. This is free, open source software. You did not pay for this. If you found a bug and you don't want to wait for the developer to fix it, then fix it and make a PR.

There is nothing wrong with making a post stating that you've found a bug. There is a problem with acting entitled like you are, and insulting the developer in the process.

>Incredibly poor attitude. This is free, open source software

so we're no longer allowed to criticize poor things we don't pay for?

There's a difference between "hey man you should check this with a throttled CPU" and "I hope developer of this component never makes a single webpage."

You hope they never make a single page? You can’t improve your skills as a developer? You started out brilliant?

This is a bad way to deliver criticism, especially on a ShowHN.

I fixed the issue, was unrelated with the component itself, can you please have a look again and verify that it works fine? https://zzarcon.github.io/react-circle/

Without knowing anything about the implementation, I'd guess this is not a case of using CPU/GPU a lot and causing a subsequent slowdown, but a case of a misplaced/misconfigured debounce function.
