vorticity Wrote:(TL;DR A programmer bashes Tapatalk I didn't save the entire HTML of the site, because on testing, all of the stuff around the threads makes a page 5-10x bigger. That's not even including the 33 external stylesheets or 18 external JS files. Tapatalk promotes itself as a mobile first company, yet it inflates the size of the content by at least 5 times. This is what is wrong with the internet today. Doing conversions with software always gives me a sense of how terrible it is (TVT-pmwiki: terrible; Mediawiki: generally not terrible). Tapatalk is "mostly terrible", simply because of how sloppy the conversion is -- hiding post titles in comment tags, hiding elements they don't like under .clutter {display: none}. Thankfully this also means that I could still recover most of the missing elements.
Relevant comic.
Got any examples of what's in "clutter"? Because that sounds pretty bizarre.
I noticed in some thread or other where someone had linked to twitter that it seemed to be trying to do an embed (that wasn't working). Have you run into/taken care of that?
