I know this is completely different scale, but compare: [1] https://github.com/git/git [2] https://gitpatch.com/gitpatch/git-demo And there is no page cache. Sub 100ms is just completely different experience.

Very nice. Also a plea. Don't animate the >. Or, don't wait for the animation to finish before showing the contents.

ah, interesting. It starts fetching tree items on mousedown (vs onclick) to load them faster, so > starts moving a bit too early.
