    The web bloat crisis is not in my imagination. This AM: someone says "lets use this new messaging system! It even has a web interface..."

        ...@davidbaron tries it, says "I had to stop because it was thrashing my CPU". Naturally, I dig in. How bad could it be?

        2.2MB of WebPack'd, browserified monstrosity. It's a React app but that's mostly a footnote in this tale of woe.

        yes, much of the JS is emscripten'd e2e crypto from libolm; using the same native lib on all platforms to bootstrap @slightlylate

        : olm.js is a separate (half meg) file. I didn't mention it, but it should be delay loaded too.

        Def an issue but lets not forget the golden rule of dev: build first, optimize later. also, OSS contributions > tweets any day

        : not my job to fix an app we'd transition to away from Slack. That app's job to compete. OSS failing at UX holds it back.

        perhaps @TheLarkInn and the webpack team can warn when bloated and commonly unnecessary libs are required
