Open in about a second and a half instead of three
The window took 2.9s to appear, and 2.1s of that was the renderer.
Almost all of it was one line: the page asked Google for Inter and
JetBrains Mono, and that request blocked the first paint. A desktop
program sat waiting on a network round-trip before it could draw
anything — and offline it wore whatever the system had instead.
Both faces are in the app now, variable-weight woff2, Latin and
Cyrillic only: 240 KB for the eight languages that use them, with
Chinese and Korean falling through to the system as they always did.
There were two requests, not one — a <link> in the head and an @import
at the top of styles.css — which is why the timings came in bimodal
until the second one was found. Median to a usable window is now 1.41s
across six runs, and nothing leaves the machine.
The Steam catalogue fetch at startup is gone with it. It called an
endpoint that has returned 404 for some time, to fill a cache whose
only reader the renderer never calls.
Updating happens where it starts. The dialog used to close itself and
drop you into Settings to finish the download; now it carries the
status line, the progress bar, Restart, and the automatic-check switch
itself, and the panel in Settings still has all four — one set of
actions driving both. The release notes are gone from both: they are
written for the commit log, arrived with their own markup showing
through as text, and said nothing a person at that moment wants.
And the cards keep the tilt as you sweep along a shelf. Each one now
has an invisible box 10px larger on every side, just under half the
gap, so crossing between two no longer drops the highlight — and no
pixel belongs to two cards. Padding would have done it too, but
box-sizing is border-box here, so it took those pixels out of the
cover instead of adding them outside it.
