* A thread never spins: the post reads at once, its replies come in whole — ↵Adam Soltys12 hours1-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | faces and pictures fetched ahead. Adam, 2026-10-16: "I still see spinner when there's no replies. I'd rather have replies pop in if they have to than wait just to see there are none. … for ones we've preloaded they appear fast but they still take a moment to render and shift the page when they do, can we not pre-render them as well so they're just instantly there on screen?" (1) No spinner at all now: the post is on screen the moment it is tapped, replies land as they arrive, and "no replies" is said only once the relays have spoken. (2) What shifted was each row's face, pictures, previews and quote cards landing after the row: a thread's rows in hand — seeded from the count fetch, fetched ahead on a moment's reading, adopted when the count answers — are now warmed the way the feed warms a row before painting it (warmThread → noteReady: the face thumb, the pictures' sizes, the link cards, the quoted notes), so the tap paints the thread in its final shape; a reply arriving from a relay waits up to 1.5 s for its face before it goes in, so it pops in whole rather than shifting as it fills. tools/thread-instant-test.js: the post fetched ahead opens with its reply and, at its first paint, the replier's face already a thumb; a post with nothing in hand reads at once with no spinner and no "no replies", its first reply popping in at ~480 ms with the slow one still to come, never a spinner; the rest as before. thread-cache, thread-pager, thread-back-scroll, feed-conversations, moderation, reply-count, feed-live and notif-report-fold pass.

* Threads open at once from the replies already in hand, and fill in as the ↵Adam Soltys13 hours1-0/+152
relays answer. Adam, 2026-10-16: "Still seeing a spinner sometimes when I click into a thread." Three things stood between a tap and the conversation. (1) The feed already fetches every reply to each post on screen — the count on the reply button comes from them (watchZaps, kinds 1 and 1111 by #e) — and then kept only their ids. Now the replies themselves are kept (replyEvents: the 400 targets most recently heard from, 60 each) and a thread is seeded from them when it is opened (repliesInHand: those naming the root, and those naming only the reply they answer), so a post that has been on screen opens as the whole conversation, no relay asked; a thread fetched ahead before the count answered takes them when opened, and the open thread takes them when the count fetch lands (adoptRepliesInHand). (2) The loader waited for every relay's EOSE — the slowest relay, 4.5 s at worst — before the thread replaced its spinner; now replies go in as they arrive (queryStreamOn), the page repainted in place, and the root the moment it is found. (3) The spinner stood under whatever was already there while the load ran; now it shows only while there is nothing to read, and "no replies" only once the relays have spoken. And the fetch-ahead fires after 600 ms of reading instead of 1.2 s (a quick reader beat it to the tap), a dozen a minute. tools/thread-instant-test.js (the relays answered in the page): a post read for a moment is fetched ahead, the count answer released only after that entry exists, and the thread opens with its reply 12 ms after the tap, not after its own 6 s ask; a post on screen opens whole in 16 ms with the three replies the count brought, before the relays answer the thread's ask, and their answer adds nothing twice; a post with nothing in hand shows a spinner, then its first reply at ~470 ms with the slow one still on its way, the spinner gone, the slow one landing in place. thread-prefetch-test follows the new dwell and rate; thread-cache, thread-pager, thread-back-scroll, feed-conversations, moderation, feed-live, feed-switch-seed, profile-pager, notif-report-fold and reply-count pass (thread-reply-test's 30 s wait fails on clean HEAD the same way).
