Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

@er1n this is both one of my biggest agony points in UI design and one reason I haven't released SotF :P I can lag it in some cases and it really bugs me because I can't figure out why, not even with flame graphs and profiler timelines

@ninjawedding i was actually thinking about your scrolling demo when i cc'd you :)

awavauatush @ninjawedding
@er1n oh the scrolling thing, heh

yeah I was really (disproportionately?) happy when that worked the way I wanted it to. I mean it's just scrolling but being able to zoom through tens or hundreds of thousands of items at full framerate and bounded memory is still something I love
