Worse, it's *invisibly* broken. There needs to be some name for this (I'm bad at names), but locking the main thread ain't cool. TTI matters

TTI = time to install? SSR = speedy second run? is this time to install for the end user or for the developer?

Time-to-Interactive. You can see it in http://webpagetest.org/easy results if you check the "Run Lighthouse Audit" box.

people are willing to put up with bad TTI times in exchange for animated loading screen showing progress. *feels* snappy

people still love to see the computer "thinking" as well as an accurate measurement of its progress (not random jumps, windows update)

People might tolerate this in some cases but they don't *love* it. We can do much better.

just curious- do you have any data on user preferences for this, with breakdown btwn technical and non technical users?

i recall seeing multiple studies where people favorably prefer services that show loading time. perhaps dan ariely, predictably irrational

Yes. (big fan of
@danariely). But that doesn't mean slow apps w/ spinner preferable to fast apps w/ indicator.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

spinner was never on the table (ew, vomit). i'm arguing for nice ui, progress bar toolkit as a stopgap until fast apps are ubiquitous.

Quick content, dimmed second tier interactive elements feels nicer to me, but I'd also love studies

Replying to @wycats @slightlylate and
i also want studies, but i'd settle for recommendations on easy progressive enhancement tooling
