|
| I click 'get started', and it wants me to hand over access to
| my GitHub account to see all private resources I have and "act
| on [my] behalf" to some unknown "blocks" third party.
|
| How do I determine whether this website is some kind of
| phishing scam, or legit? Everything everyone always says
| ("check the domain!") rings alarm bells.

| How funny that timing is. It showcases P5 which has absolutely
| awful bundle sizes because the code is written in a way that tree
| shaking (unused code removal) isn't possible. It attaches
| everything to the p5.prototype.
|
| This took a site I have from loading 200kb to 1.1mb. It also
| includes browser polyfills that haven't been needed for years.
| Unacceptable.
|
| I hope that P5 can get some attention as a result of Blocks to
| refactor it to solve this.

| Looks rather cool but right now there's only a signup page.
