When you open a node there is not network request, there is an open socket connection that data passes through.
Its usually not necessary to display all items in a 10k plus list as there is generally no use case for a user scrolling through a list that large. Search and showing a truncated list that renders efficiently would be a good approach. Ultimately the problem we are tying to solve is helping a user find the data they are looking for. hope that helps.
You can insert Vulcan directly into a webpage by following the directions here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-website. A future feature will be detecting the Firebase URL being used on the page.
You are correct I technically do not need all your security permissions to install vulcan. I plan on fixing this notice, it seems to be the default in the chrome store.
Thanks for the feedback.
That said, nice work. Hopefully the authors of this game don't mind and will support your efforts or work with you on an HTML5 version of this game. Good luck.
That's really a big claim, especially when you also tie in that you are product you are building is quality. I'm not saying that's it's not possible or you guys haven't figured it out. But without seeing exactly why it's the "Easiest & Fastest" it's hard to accept it as fact. A video would be nice.
Once a user registers and logs in to your web application I believe it is fair to require them to enable javascript in order to proceed.
However, if you don't need to create a full blown javascript web application then I recommend allowing your javascript to gracefully degrade so users can still use the site. In this case javascript best used to "enhance" the experience but shouldn't destroy the experience if it's disabled. Hope that helps.
Also, keep in mind that this also depends on the organization your working for. In the case of government websites with strict accessibility guidelines, sites need to work without javascript enabled because screen readers for the visually impaired have a hard time viewing dynamically generated content.
Ultimately retention is about creating an environment that is pleasant for your employees. This means creating opportunity financially, professionally, and personally. It's hard for any employee to leave a job that appreciates them and fosters their all around growth. Money is certainly part of it but in the big picture the message is "Build a great workplace". It's a proactive approach of doing good instead of a reactive set of rules on what not to do.
