Not sure if it's my computer (Arch Linux, 5.13, i7-7700K, RTX 2080 Ti) but the page behaves the same in both Firefox and Chrome where it basically slows down the browser to a halt, seemingly contiuing doing HTTP requests forever (loaded the page once 3 minutes ago and it's still doing more requests to some ElasticSearch instance).

It is pretty amazing what you can accomplish with nocode tooling (like Bubble, that is being used here), but I think this demonstrates that we have a long way to go before production applications can be built with it. It is a pretty good starting point though, and with a little optimizations to Bubbles backends (and probably the way they render stuff/deal with the DOM) we can be pretty close to shipping nocode apps for average users.

None the less, nice work! The UI itself is pretty close which is inspiring to see, although the new reddit UX leaves plenty to ask for.
