Notes

• Piyush

  • How to set up metrics for RTC? Best is to get in touch with Kevin Jahns (author of yjs)

• Frederic

  • I finally fix the benchmark jobs on JupyterLab CI
  • This leads to some additional correction to observable disposals
  • There is still a memory leak related to CodeMirror 6 that will be tackled in CodeMirror as token

• Mike

  • Nice blog post about CSS selector performance and a new dev tool available in Edge: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2023/01/17/the-truth-about-css-selector-performance/

Notes

• Vidar

  • Large folders (1000s of items):
    • Browsing becomes slow – There was previous discussions about changing the browser to something based on Max' effort on tree-finder (based on regular-table), but that stranded. I might be looking more on that, but timelines are uncertain and not sure what appetite is for switching default vs improving it?
      • Mike: interesting how it works with https://pypi.org/project/jupyterlab-unfold/
    • Does startup still always hit contents API with a "/" GET, or was that fixed?
      • Issues in Jupyter Server:
        • Pagination content

• Mike

  • Shadow DOM?
    Lumino issue
    Lumino PR

Discussion around web compontents adoption in the future in lumino/lab ecosystem:

• in future maybe a new alternative implementation of Widget which would be web-component based
• places where react is used poorly (too many roots), like toolbar buttons
• icons may be a good target for gradual adoption, may give a boost
  • svg <use>

Icons in Cocal: Iconfont and Antd icons
