I don't want to sound too harsh here but I had a loading screen come up to show me a page of text. I know it's not plain text and probably has some giant javascript framework behind it but still a loading screen for that page?

This is not a webpage, but fully functional web app (you can edit that text). That text is stored as plain text, then parsed and moved to DataScript (in-memory clojurescript database). That's why you see loading screen. This happens only when you reload tab, otherwise there are no loading screens when one is working within this app (it also has a desktop app [electron]).
