Crashing Chrome often. Memory leaks?

[jasonify]

@crablar mentioned this happens to him often when developing

Could be due to the nature of live code reloading while developing? Haven't really noticed this as an issue.

I have a lotta chrome extensions too

I think this might have to do with the A-Player downloading all the mp3s prior to playing. This wouldn't be a problem with a few but the main view is a decently sized array of APlayers.

If you really want the mp3 playable from the main view I think we'd want to not use the preload default of 'auto' - https://aplayer.js.org/docs/#/?id=options

I think we should only have a single player like the mobile apps. That would be more performant and correspond with normal UX

:) Agreed, and that's what this new branch is doing: https://github.com/SoftwareEngineeringDaily/sedaily-front-end/tree/global-player-WIP which is why it was odd since I think Jeff was having problems even after we removed all the player objects.

Ah! I didn't see the branch. Awesome :D
