So native apps live in a world of negative externality: force users to be sysadmins about expensive resource on the *dev's* behalf.

Native apps tend to be _terrible_ citizens of constrained devices because native devs only feel size/weight as trailing adoption factor

Maybe it's render slow, or layout, or JS. I just hate to care about it too much.

One of the problem was chunk execution while animating. Had to hack webpack to delay execution till component is requested

: yep. Webpack + current practice move farrrrrrrrr too much script into the critical path. What you want is PRPL.

: a year ago I was less hopeful. PRPL actually fixes most of it. Need to ditch webpack and move to modern stuff, tho.

I mean it's hard to use PRPL right now without community support. Even if one really wants to. Tools around tools matter :-)
