I Decompiled the White House's New App— The app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages. (blog.thereallo.dev)

What Is This App?

It's a React Native app built with Expo (SDK 54), running on the Hermes JavaScript engine. The backend is WordPress with a custom REST API. The app was built by an entity called "forty-five-press" according to the Expo config.

What happened? Apparently my crappy browser handled something for me.

It's laggy as hell on my mobile phone. And it's not a bad/cheap model.

The site is basically whitevtext on black background and some colored code snips.

It should scroll smooth on 1980's Casio watch.

It's displaying from me through my piefed app. Only weird bit was the trippy fold up of the title as you scrolled down but that happens once

[–] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah. As soon as the transparent title hit the top, it started to stutter. Like 2 fps.

I use Fennec on A54 (8Gb). It just does not seem right to be so laggy/stuttery as the content is merely text. How bad can the code rendering the content be?

I have never accomplished such a site.

And it really can't be due to device and browser. Many others on different setup have stated the same.

Visually similar site should run on moldy potato.

Weird. I have a "cheap" device on the legacy list, and apart from mild latency and general ugliness, I had no issues.

Here you go, since we don't want to trigger any seizures! https://sh.itjust.works/post/57582014

I'm on an S24 with Firefox. Wonder what's causing the issues, it loads just fine and scrolls fine on my end.
