Githawk: Spinner finishes before code file loads

[Huddie]

• If you go to this file: Freetime.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

• The spinner should end pretty quickly but the page will remain blank.

• Wait

• Document appears

I think the spinner should continue until the document is ready to show, I thought it was either blank or there was an error loading it

It’s from rendering the code in the background. Could be interesting to keep the spinner til rendering finishes. Requires a little refactoring on the CodeView I think. Great task for someone.

Could the unhighlighted code be displayed first, then replaced with the highlighted version?

[Huddie]

Don’t see why not. Just kind of a weird UX

I’d rather show it styled instead of flashing with changes

Is this rendered in a uitextview or tableview? Maybe find ways to reduce the amount needing highlighting at a time

Text view

I know styledTextKit has a UITableView example. Would this help loading times?

It would if we split big chunks of text into smaller pieces (maybe by line count?) and then calculated code style in order.

Pretty complex tho.

Ya sounds complex. Just throwing things out there 🤷‍♂️
