This is a cool idea -- giving people a way to grow their site from a list of links to something more complex makes a lot of sense. That said, and I know criticisms like this are a bit of a cliché at this point on HN, but why does a static list of links need to download 18MB of JavaScript, show a progress bar, and modify the scrolling behavior of the page? I assume at some point in the future this JS will be useful for adding more advanced features to people's sites, but it might be worth paring it down to just what's actually necessary for the kind of page it is. |

Unfortunately, we've been adding features in left and right on demand and just haven't had time to optimize profile delivery yet since it hasn't been in high-demand, but that's next on our roadmap.
We're about to add in our one-click export to static, which will cut out all the existing Javascript on the page and optimize all assets before delivery, and then trigger re-builds on every change to your site.
There will ultimately have to be a user-set balance between performance and feature-set however, as just like WordPress not all plugins will be able to be pre-compiled.
