What Is This App?

It’s a React Native app built with Expo (SDK 54), running on the Hermes JavaScript engine. The backend is WordPress with a custom REST API. The app was built by an entity called “forty-five-press” according to the Expo config.

    It’s good information about how bad the app really is. People should not dismiss the information because of the crappy website complaints.

            I run no script on both Firefox desktop and mobile. I’d much rather have to approve things to run, than have them run by default.

              If one has it set to default-deny Javascript, a lot of websites don’t work, because many web developers don’t develop websites that work without Javascript today.

              Historically, websites did a better job of falling back.

            There’s dozens of us. Works great on mobile with NoScript, although the source code snippets don’t load. Since the article describes what they do anyway it’s still readable without them, and the excellent performance is worth leaving JS blocked.

      It’s really hard not to dismiss when having a seizure for just trying to read it.

      I really wanted to read.

          It’s laggy as hell on my mobile phone. And it’s not a bad/cheap model.

          The site is basically whitevtext on black background and some colored code snips.

          It should scroll smooth on 1980’s Casio watch.

            It’s displaying from me through my piefed app. Only weird bit was the trippy fold up of the title as you scrolled down but that happens once

              Yeah. As soon as the transparent title hit the top, it started to stutter. Like 2 fps.

              I use Fennec on A54 (8Gb). It just does not seem right to be so laggy/stuttery as the content is merely text. How bad can the code rendering the content be?

              I have never accomplished such a site.

              And it really can’t be due to device and browser. Many others on different setup have stated the same.

              Visually similar site should run on moldy potato.

            Weird. I have a “cheap” device on the legacy list, and apart from mild latency and general ugliness, I had no issues.
