Discussions are getting slower to render as they grow. It’s a rendering issue (not a db issue).
I could use ActionController::Live to stream ideas to the page one by one. Instant page load.
Changing the view logic so that the controller can stream each deeply nested idea separately sounds non-trivial. It’s not clear to me how to do that currently. It may be possible someday if I adjust Hiccdown to allow the use of enumerators or something like that.
Including that module significantly slows down hot reloads on all pages. I need a tight feedback loop in dev.
Replacing a raw SQL query in Idea.tree with a standard ActiveRecord query solves this issue.
Fast UX is more important than fast developer experience.
A slow developer experience will slow down all further development, including bug fixes and feature rollouts, which hurts UX as well.
After resetting my working directory and beginning to implement streams a second time, I can no longer reproduce this issue, despite reasonable attempts to reproduce it.
I’ve since been able to reproduce the issue after all. Running a raw SQL query in Idea.tree in combination with the inclusion of the Live module seems to mess with Rails’s reloader.
