Agreed. I’d love to hear some alternative examples to Twitter’s web app or how one could build it faster.

Also I’m curious if the original Twitter lite was well engineered. I generally share all the criticisms above about the web but I thought Twitter’s Scala back end actually made the response fast and resilient. I mostly use the iOS app but never had problems with the mobile (until recent changes).

Sure, Twitter from 2011. Backend handling might be faster today but that's decoupled from the frontend bloat and UI anti-patterns.
