Nice czech project! I can see one problem which is annoying for me as i read mostly on mobile. On main page scrolling is nice continuel, but when i open some article scrolling stop to be continuel and i have to swipe sooo much to get down the post. But if i open post in another window scrolling remain continuel. Its not so much convinient.

Comments are now loaded after a button is clicked, that should help a bit with the initial loading stress. I will look into rendering next.

Its not problem with speed. Problem is that if im at main page i swipe with finger, put my finger out and content keep scrolling, but in loaded article it stops scrolling right after i put my finger out. So i cant scroll fast and continuel. I can see that every article is loaded in "pseudo" window (dont know how to name it) which has this bad scrolling feature. If i open article directly in new windows, scrolling is fine, keep scrolling nicely

@zikk Right, thanks for clarifying the issue.
-
@zikk What browser and phone are you using? Works rather fine on Android/Chrome, although there is an occasional lag. It is definitely not stopping when I leave my finger, though...

iPhone 7 Plus and default Safari browser. Scrolling is fine everywhere but not in article opened in same window (window in window with closing cross at right site, dont know how to name it better). That is the problem i think. Safari at iOS dont recognize that window as whole site and just moves, not scrolls. Also i can see there is no scrolling bar at right side of screen which is default system feature. So system thinks it just moves with it like drag and move a picture.

@zikk It's an overlay, that is how we call it ;-)
-
Yeah so overlay. I think Safari still think site is under this overlay and dont scrolling properly.
-
In this case i would prefer to open whole article instead of overlay like i can do with "Open in new window" but in same window.
-
@zikk The reason we do it like this is so that you don't lose scrolling position in the feed.
-
@zikk But I am going to try to attend to this issue. Installing Xcode to simulate iPhone. Will be ready in like 45 minutes and then we will see :-)
-
Yeah that is cool, but if it cant be optimized for all browsers, what about doing it optional via settings?
-
@zikk FYI managed to reproduce in the iOS simulator.
-
@tchap nice. Do you think it is something which can be fixed by you?
-
@zikk I am digging into it. Surely there will be a solution, we will see how hacky it will be. It may as well be a bug in Angular Material.

Fix deployed. Scrolling should be smooth now.

Great! Works smooth! Thanks a lot. I will use steeve as my primary steem app

This might have to do with the fact that comments are getting loaded when a story is opened. It may be too much for the phone to handle, to both be loading and scrolling. It is sometimes too much on desktop even :-)
