I don't usually do this, but it's about public health and this site is getting a lot of press and HOLY !*#$ WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE REACT COMMUNITY!?:

This feels like the right place to invoke @tomskitomski:

If I had to guess, this probably wasn't ever tested on anything w/o a "Designed in Cupertino" badge.

It's *more than 900K of JS* to see the headline data. A screen shot is significantly smaller.

Nothing about this is OK.

Once -- just once -- I'd like to see prominent React peeps pitching in to fix these sorts of disasters instead of just excusing them.

@kevin, @mikeyk: this is bad and slow, but it could be much faster with some small-ish improvements. LMK if you want assistance there.

You can follow @slightlylate.
