Hmmm… I just reloaded my “Books” page and it took way more than 10 seconds and the console had loads of errors.
Then I opened the network tab and reloaded again, and this time it was much faster and everything was marked as “cached”. So it seems the cache works, but the first time around it’s still super slow.
The console warnings and errors persisted, though. They are along the lines of
I never noticed before having to log in today, but it should be “log in,” not “login.” One word is a noun while two words is a verb.
On the button itself in the banner it’s fine to have “login” —since it’s for the login page where you log in to the site—though it looks weird when the one next to it is “sign up” instead of “signup.” They should be consistent.
Is it consistently slow for you on first load? You’re right… I have a cache item for each book which I use in various places and I think there were a lot of items on your books page which weren’t cached yet, but now should be cached for a long time. Basically, I think your profile should be speedy now.
huh, I don’t get any of those errors on Chrome. Are you on chrome? Firefox?
oh no! I’m sorry you all, I know what the issue is. I use my cache system to store your session data and I’ve changed some configuration recently which makes it so it removes data if if reaches a certain memory limit.
Basically, with my new changes, you’ll intermittently get your logged in status wiped
Will fix today… may require another one time logout of everyone, ugh
OK! Now, after a lot of hair pulling, the infrastructure is set.
However, you again are logged out. Sorry!
I’ve changed the system so that the logged in status is no longer governed by this cache but the database… which should mean I really shouldn’t have to log you all out again.
In other news, you may again see some slight slowdowns. I’m in the process of re populating this cache which should be done in an hour.
and I learned that this only refers to my local disc cache, so nothing to do with Natively. But those images don’t seem to take much time anyway, so that’s not an issue, I guess.
Thanks for the note!! i’m not really seeing those speeds in my metrics anymore. I do think that was a result of all the cache issues today, which have now been resolved. Shouldn’t see that again, but if you do, let me know. Should be down to about 1.5 seconds on that initial library call for you.
I think those errors were just a result of the slowness, yeah… but it does seem like I need to do some general bug fixing for firefox too
Yeah sorry about that
TBH I’m on the verge of switching back to Chrome - I switched to Firefox a few years ago when Chrome just grew too fat and sluggish, and also I‘m not really a fan of the Googleverse when it comes to privacy but nowadays so many pages misbehave in Firefox because Chrome has become the new Windows and so it’s really tricky (and with that I don’t mean Natively and the like but rather professional stuff I need for work rn )
Not sure if related to the changes to the caching but now searching for 本好き (and only 本好き…) gives me an error. Thought it might be related to the JP text but nope, other JP text searches work as do English (including “bookworm”) as does just putting “好き”. Replicates for me on both Chrome and Firefox Android.
If you use Mac I’ve been enjoying Arc quite a bit, but my windows machine is still Win10 which isn’t supported yet (Win11 compatibility just came out, though!), hence being on Firefox there. Arc is Chromium based but not as heavy as Chrome. It took a day or two to get used to the work flow change and tweak some of the default settings but I really do recommend it!
Brave is another chromium based browser. I started using it because its mission is privacy. It’s been a number of years since I’ve reviewed what they’re doing anymore, so do your homework if that’s something you’re concerned with, but it works on all of my devices (Win10, Android, iOS) and happily syncs between them.
Apologies everyone for the brief forums outage! I was updating and ran into a memory issue that took a little while to resolve. All updated now though!
Wow, adding books is instant now! Very cool! I’m sure it’s been this way for a while but I haven’t actually added a book for a hot minute, so it’s kind of rad to see
I am getting an error when I try to access my book list.
The error seems to only occurs when https://learnnatively.com/book/7f5f34f156/ is on the current page. I think it’s trying to pull the data for the book but can’t because the book in question moved to a different location and that’s causing it to be unable to display the book list.
This started after I added ゆゆのゆ!(1) | L24?? to natively. That series was initially located at book/7f5f34f156/, but then it moved to book/d5c39dded5/. When that happened, book/7f5f34f156/ stayed in my owned list even though it doesn’t exist anymore.
Edit: I was able to fix the issue by removing ゆゆのゆ! from my owned list and re-adding it.
Also, unrelated to my first issue. I can’t search videos for “swe”. It will crash the search bar. It works fine for books though. I’m getting this issue in both Firefox and Brave on Ubuntu. It is not happening on Android.
