docat blink issue

Hello, I'm trying to using this framework for making my documents. But when I change my page, there's some blink. Maybe it's because of the force update. Is there any some solution for fixing it? or Is that in your plan?

isn't that just because there is a different html page loaded?

@fliiiix I made it by sphinx. And other documents site like networkx document page, It doesn't blink. And when I check it in local not hosting, It didn't happen.

As with 1.0.0 we completely reimplemented the frontend. Is this still an issue? @Ninebell

I think this is still an issue. If you create a simple sphinx site, and serve it via docat and python3 -m http.server, you'll see a blink transition with docat but no blink with python3 -m http.server (tested with Firefox 114 and Chromium 114 on Linux). I'm guessing this is related to how the page is being served out (I've not looked into how the overlays are added).

Yep, I think it's related to the iframe setup, if I go to http://localhost:8000/doc/project/version/ then the blinking doesn't happen.

A possible solution would be to stop using an iframe, and use https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_sub_module.html to inject any overlays into the underlying HTML.

I think this is now fixed with #587 . Feel free to reopen if it's still an issue.
