If the worst thing you can say about a git hosting provider is that the performance of their blog is worse than the performance of their git servers, I think they're probably doing an okay job.
While this is true, we do care about performance tremendously, and the animation not having good performance cuts against that, so I think it's a very fair criticism. Paying attention to details matters.
That's reasonable. I mostly just found the framing to be unfair rather than the criticism itself; it feels kind of disingenuous to try to draw a connection between performance of git and performance of a webpage IMO
I'd argue that you invented some sort of link between "performance of git" and "performance of websites" that is not at all a premise I accept either, so it's not that unreasonable for me to point out that I think it's silly.
Thanks, I'm a Windows user and use Chrome myself, and on my machine it works great, but it's a pretty beefy box. I mentioned this downthread to someone else, but I've filed a bug internally and we'll make sure that it's better optimized. Thank you for the report, it's truly helpful.
You mention performance issues with Git, but there are performance issues with this blog post.
