The current system has bad performance when you've got 100,000+ tags.
I discovered that when the server returns 304, the browser gives the
ajax a 200 with the full response, and it's not clear to me if js can
know it got a 304. So, the tag set is being fully re-parsed from the
response on every page load. I was thinking that I should store that in
IndexedDB to avoid the parsing step, but... since the JSON.parse is
done by my common.get before it hits this function, it's meaningless.
Not to mention I still have to rebuild the datalist on every page since
of course that state isn't shared between tabs. Not worth the DB stuff.
We'll see what happens next.
There was always some semblance that two blank lines has some kind of
meaning or structure that's different from single blank lines, but
in reality it was mostly arbitrary and I can't stand to look at it
any more.
Any properties that are different in wide/narrow mode should be defined
in the correct media query. I got tired of having wide mode be the
default and then narrow mode having to unset/initial all the attributes
that aren't relevant to narrow.
I think my original reason for doing this was to prevent the button
from being operational until after the spinner initialization has
completed, so you don't get any weird half-functional spinner buttons.
However, in practice I'm finding that I constantly forget about this
and it adds tedium to creating spinner buttons.
Will review if any actual problems come up.
- album card has placeholder for future thumbnail.
- replaced nested tree hierarchy lists with separate boxes.
- list/grid view also applies to the root listing.
- added a sticky right panel for all the tools. not pretty yet.
- mechanism for adding sticky panel changed. instead of applying
it to the #right, you apply it to #content_body so that its
grid layout can be updated properly.
- common.css, removed html and body margins so that using
full height #content_body will not create a scrollbar.
Simplifies the "fill remaining space" construct I use a lot.
Added more css variables, I'm thinking about future theming.
- photo_card.css, slightly heightened to improve name clipping.
- clipboard.html, added a small screen mode.
- login.html, centered the boxes and fixed message area being
too small due to a previous change.
- search.html, simplified some conditional texts.
I have finally found a pattern I like which is
function, function_callback, and function_form
for the backend, callback, and button handler respectively.
