Description

  1. Sign in
  2. Open the dashboard
  3. Open the “Load Project” submenu
  4. Type some content into the HTML

Observe that the interface is noticeably sluggish when typing.

This is probably the result of expensively recalculating the preview for each project, on each keystroke.

Research direction

Reproduce the slowdown by signing in, opening the dashboard, opening the “Load Project” submenu, and typing into the HTML editor. Then trace the dashboard’s project-preview update path to identify the work repeated on each keystroke. Done means typing remains responsive while the preview continues to update correctly.
