Nicely done those who complained about dependency on the quark 'runtime' should note that it would be easy for the author to provide a 'release' button to create a dependency-free Electron bundled version that can be distributed to all.

I don't know if its just me, but the site runs extremely slow on a pretty well-specced desktop PC. I think there might be too much going on. I gave up trying to scroll through.

This is on Chrome 72.

That's a fairly old version of Chrome, try updating. It's working well here on Brave (based on Chromium 76) but this is on a high end computer.

It's pretty bad in Safari as well :(

Seems fine on my iphone 6s.

It's the same story here on Firefox with Webrender (which even manages to tame the horribly unoptimized youtube).

I am sure there is some irony on some level and dimension when the first piece of text on this abomination of a site is "Lightning Fast"

Seems fine on my older Xperia Compact.
