App is now fast(er)

Teams in the Philippines and Southeast Asia have been reporting slowdowns for way too long. We’ve spent countless hours, too many Pepsi Max cans (the non-caffeine kind to not go overly wild), and added some grey hairs tracking this down.

Not going to bore you with technical details, but CDN, caching, deduping, and selective debouncing happened. As the non-technical cofounder I don’t understand what half of those mean, but the app is noticeably faster now.

Most importantly: it should be faster in the Philippines.

If you’re still seeing slow conversation loading, reset your browser and check this article.

The network files some of you sent were incredibly helpful: keep them coming if slowness persists, especially in the Philippines where 25% of our users are (another 25% in the US, 11% in the UK, 5% in the Netherlands btw).
