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 top-level ideas to the page one by one. Instant page load.

JS modules are always deferred and unusable until the page is fully loaded. As a result, comment buttons and gutters won’t work while ideas are still streaming onto the page.

I now purposely prevent interactions with buttons and gutters, and gray them out, until the page is fully loaded. So instead of broken hover effects and interactions, the user gets intentionally disabled elements, and this intentionality is communicated to them.

Once the page is fully loaded, buttons and gutters are enabled and visually restored.

Since the browser’s loading indicator remains visible until then, this behavior shouldn’t violate user expectation.
