Hey, I said I'd make it back, provided I'm on the only computer which has my auth credentials cached. For the life of me, it seems I [inexplicably] don't know what my password is, even though I've used a global PW pattern, for basically ever.

Can I change my password without knowing it? Will Voat hook me an email password reset? It's really weird... there's sites I don't visit for years and my password strategy works. Can't figure out what happened.

It's just a light knock. I'd also tell you Reddit's responsive mobile & tablet UI are weak. For what's available today, so many sites are really behind. even hacker news....

Haven't checked GitHub yet, but it's quite possible to alias Bootstrap CSS with a preprocessor, which would be hard to see after compiled output.

You're comment about SignalR, I didn't dig in but I assume it's either a long ajax poll or websocket connection. Cool stuff for sure, just a platform I haven't seen, and won't judge.

This is awesome. And killing off bootstrap is great, there's nothing special in their JS, perhaps besides upsetting Douglas Crockford. I'm moving over the next couple days here but I want to follow up on this. Thanks for the reply!

Also, no worries, building a big app isn't easy.

Well, just because it's a cdn doesn't mean it can't also load slow from that location. They'll solve the lions share of problems by simply expanding and improving their server & load balancer network. The majority of browsers will cache the files after the first visit anyways, assume their web server is configured right.

More technically, the site loads Bootstrap Javascript, which is likely being used for interactive components like drop downs. However the site does not use Bootstrap CSS styles, so I would make the case that a limited amount of functionality of the website is aided by the Bootstrap's Javascript library.

This website includes other frontend coding tools, such as Modernizr, jQuery, jQuery-UI CSS, and appears to use the ASP.NET SignalR platform, which I know nothing about.

In my opinion, it's pretty clean but the responsive design code - which is engineered to transform the layout based on screen size - is quite lacking on the mobile front. My hunch is it was designed as a desktop application with the bonus that it's somewhat useable on mobile devices.

As a seasoned web app UIE, if the voat.co devs want to chat about this I'd be down.
