Please be respectful of other people's work. The same criticism could have been framed in a much less toxic manner.

The author has clearly put a lot of work into this, and theres a lot more good things to say about it than there are flaws.

For example, it looks beautiful, will certainly help many people, and I, personally, will be happy to learn from it and use in my own future projects. Even though page size can be improved, author did a great job, and I don't want him to be discouraged by your nitpicking.

So don't be a dick.

Hey, thank you. Glad, you like it.

I agree with you on page size/load time. It is just a demo landing page and not a final product. There are plenty of ways to improve the page metrics.

Since the actual size is tiny, tried using webpack to combine some of the resources. Saved ~40% of that size with minification and dead code removal, and saving that many requests meant that it takes a tenth of the time to load.

Might recommend you try it too for releases, as a lot of people might not know how & will use this as is.
