Your project seems very cool, and good on you for it.

10 seconds is absurdly slow, though. That's like time to install Mathematica from a disk image level slow.

> 10 seconds is absurdly slow, though.

I hate to say this, but have you used any $ModenWebApp with $HotJSFramework recently? I thank the gods when those pages load without a 5-10 second of fancy spinning animation. Really thought we would be in a better place by 2024 but nope.

I haven't used any such slow thing yet (am mostly a commandline world person).

Don't work for a company where you need to turn in receipts or fill out info in crappy HR software? I mean, good for you and knowing the command line, but doing the less-fun, less-specialized parts of jobs usually involves regressing to the mean of what interfaces people know how to use.

I started a job in an unusual way (first week, I deployed to the Greenland ice sheet). Workday wouldn't work over the high-latency connection so I couldn't fill out my HR paperwork without VNCing into a computer in CONUS...

I don’t. But I understand what you’re describing

I thought it was too slow as well, but apparently it's not - plenty of people are using it now, and I myself use it way more than I thought I would.
