So porting a React app to Kitten* has been an eye-opening experience.I’d successfully managed to avoid React for the longest time and I knew things were heavy/slow/generally bloated but time from clone to web site index running in your browser: ~ 65 seconds for React + Next vs 900ms for Kitten? Index page first render ~16 seconds vs 800ms (subsequent renders similar at ~45ms vs 35ms)… I mean, wow! 👀 Lots more stats to share soon in the blog post I’m writing…#Kitten #SmallWeb #React #BigWeb

(And it’s not all about numbers at all of course… the philosophy and goals are completely different; diametrically opposed, if you will.)#SmallWeb #BigWeb #SmallTech #BigTech

(And, I mean, I’ve done no performance optimisations whatsoever on Kitten as I don’t believe in premature optimisation. It’s just because it wasn’t designed to enable corporations to farm people for their data. So there’s no bullshit in it.)

@aral React has become the web's STD.

@aral I agree with you, performance optimisation before all the features you need work is useless. But did you design for performance? Or did you have other considerations in mind, and stumbled into performance?

@sossalemaire Designed for everyday people as a tool for their own use instead of for kings and wannabe kings to enable them to (ab)use others. All else stems from that.
