On: Frivolous, Empty, and Perfectly Delightful

I assume this was posted so that we can trash the loading bar for being anti-web, punishing users on slow connections. There is no technical reason to hide the core content, which is transmitted in the first request, until every other asset has finished loading.

Not sure why you are downvoted. I fully agree with your complaint.

The site loads slowly even on a decent internet connection - without any good reason.

I'll probably never get why people are constantly struggling to get serving static text (with a few images) right.

Saved by "open link in background tab" - didn't even notice, except the center of the logo faded in before the rest of the logo.

Funny, for me it didn't show the loading indicator until I actually went to the tab and watched it 'load'. Very 90s/modern.
