The app flashes a white screen on startup

[georgel2020]

What happened?

When I open AFFiNE, it flashes several times as follows:

• A white screen with a system title bar
• An empty AFFiNE workspace page with shape placeholders
• A white screen with a system title bar
• Workspace content

The behavior is especially noticable with dark mode on.

Should be related to layers of status checks on first load. Planned be resolved when auth is refactored in 0.14 next release

@pengx17 do you have any idea about A white screen with a system title bar

[pengx17]

I guess it is the time of the blocking script is being evaluated (above perf profile is generated with x6 cpu slow down).

Some possible solutions:

• reduce the load of blocking js before first render. e.g., take the main react app as async module
• add a non-js loading screen for electron entry
• only show electron window after js is finished evaluating
• v8 snapshot?
