This ain't gonna work for 1,000,000 checkboxes. You could try using requestAnimationFrame or querying only non-checked checkboxes querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked)') or not calling checkAllCheckboxes for all mutations. Edit: or just call querySelector('input[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked)') and do them one by one in some kinda while(true) loop

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would be fun to read a writeup of how you implemented it.

it's a tiny flask server, a bitset stored in redis, updates broadcast (too frequently! but i don't want to change it now) via websockets, and react-window to only render the checkboxes that are in view. I'll do a writeup when i finish putting out fires!

But how did you do this without (ab)using a blockchain? You'll never get get funding like this...

(developer here) this is....more popular than i expected. the server's gonna be having some problems for a while

You announced it on the FediVerse, where it has already been boosted almost 700 times as I write this 4 hours later, and it spread to Reddit within 2 hours of that, as you know because you replied to the Reddit post. There is definitely going to be an initial spike of activity, given those. (-:

Out of curiosity, what’s the Reddit thread?

Is it ok if I try to write a script to uncheck all the boxes? I don’t want to spam your server and ruin it for everyone if there’s no rate limiting.

(I wince mentioning this publicly; still have flashback trauma from when some HNer wrote a script to download as much data as possible from our Firebase and got a $1k bill overnight.)

Just write data to the underlying API. No need to interact with the browser UI at all.

Stop that script, I'm watching you ruin the board!

Great stuff. Little jealous, because I'd love to work on quickly scaling such experiment seeing how many people are playing with it. Sad, but having my head too burned out by corpo bullshit and my creativity level is in the basement :(

Are there any companies hiring where you can still work and not waste 90% of time on meetings and docs?

Probably too many clicks and my mind is just spitting out here instead of just dying in pain in silence :D

I haven’t opened my laptop yet. But it’s inevitable someone will write one.

Early stage startups, or starting your own company from scratch. That seems to be the case these days. I’m in the same boat, but side projects help cope!
