Initial map load performance
Describe the bug
From Wallet of Satoshi:
We've had a customer report to us (and also verified) that the initial load of BTC Map seems to get stuck on about 60% loaded. Refreshing the screen, and subsequent loads seem to be work fine after that. Just that first new load on both our in-app browser version, and when testing on other fresh browsers. Just a heads up about a potential bug.
I could not fully recreate this. When loading in a fresh browser there was indeed a long pause at 60%, but it progressed after around 10s. This was on a powerful laptop with a v fast Internet connection.
On slower devices this could indeed look like a failed initial load and perhaps might be if there is some timeouts being hit.
To Reproduce
Clear browser cache and reload map.
Expected behavior
A more progressive experience, perhaps loading a subset of locations to begin with based on local.
Screenshots
Additional context
We probably need to work towards a lightweight version of the web app designed for embedding that either has no cache or only caches the merchants/elements and not the rest of the data (reports, communities, etc.).
WIP here: https://fast.btcmap.org/
MVP:
- [ ] Tile toggles inc. dark
- [ ] Amenity icons
- [ ] Better element modals
- [ ] Links to merchant pages
- [ ] Optional open at location should apps that embed want to offer location feature
