     @ne The browser is consuming memory or the devserver? If browser, uninstall redux-devtools. If server, well, welcome to TypeScript.

     @alex the server was :pleadhelp:
     
     i like what typescript does but god damn this is embarrassing if they implement it like that
     
     any plans to rewrite parts of Soapbox in a still-soyslop language like Go or something or even le rust tranny language? they have amazing webshitter tools while still small. I think you'd _really_ like those, and they help performance autists like me.

     @ne There’s some Rust-powered compiler that will probably replace Webpack eventually. Can’t really rewrite a frontend in Go (don’t try to correct me).

     @alex yeah i know just the backend shit is what i mean, webpack is the REAL bitch behind the scenes because it does stupid shit like recompiles
     
     trust me, i did webshit for a little bit, best i can do is tell you to avoid some things ?
     
     https://blixtdev.com/you-dont-need-webpack-3-better-alternatives-for-building-your-javascript/ this has some listings, cant tell u about them but i used webpack before, its a chunt.

     @ne We will almost certainly replace Webpack in the future, but the alternatives aren’t viable for Soapbox yet because we rely on Webpack heavily to do some quirky stuff.

     @ne Am familiar with Vite. Currently rebuilding soapbox.pub in Next.js so I can learn it, then the long term plan is to use it for Soapbox itself, including its new Turbopack thingy: https://vercel.com/blog/turbopack

     @alex webpack is the most popular because its shitty branding attracts people and everyone tells you to use it, i totally get why you used it, i used it too because its all i heard about.
     
     in reality you dig deep and find something smaller and more for your needs. obv i could rabbit hole you but i get your situation, best you can do is chop off some of the ugly pieces.
     
     (pleromaFE uses webpack too, i hate it)
     
     please peep vite, it actually looks good :hapyKonata:

     @alex i wish u luck, and i wish u luck to make frontend more lightweight too, treebird will peak here :marseywink: but it has diff goals, and pleromaFE is a lost hope, dont pleromaFE us again
