that's def not ideal and not normal, loading up the page in incognito takes me less than a second. It does make a lot of requests for assets and to the API but those are mostly async. Can you repro the long load time everytime? Do you still see a long load time for a space url like https://kinopio.club/fonts-6n5memHYV0K1qmeUcX2Fs ? If the issue persists? What browser/OS are you using? Where in the world are you? (the client should be serving over a CDN)
EDIT: in case you were referring to the loading state in the vid in the post, I suspect that's a bug with the iOS loading screen that I didn't have time to fix before this post (it's just idling for most of that). will update later
As someone who has built offline-first, I noticed that as well : D
All the offline-first apps I've built have felt magically fast to load. It really is an incredible experience. I think its likely something to do with parsing/loading the initial view state that is taking a bit. Thats a pretty complicated widget so likely has to load libraries to handle it.
it's an issue with the ios app only that i'll be investigating (the loading screen is mostly idling during that time). If you load the kinopio website in safari while offline (the app is just a thin wrapper over the site), then it is indeed magically fast
Felt as if it checked online or loaded too many things.
