Today in hashtag#BuildInPublic: Reimagining UI Speed with Svelte at far.cx If you’ve ever waited 3–5 seconds for Jira to load, you know the pain. Today, I set out to prove that speed isn’t just a “nice to have”-it’s the foundation of flow. So here’s what I shipped: A brand new UI for far.cx, built from the ground up with Svelte, obsessively focused on one metric-40ms load time. Not a typo. From click to render, it’s instant. No more context-switching, no more “grab a coffee while it loads.” Why does this matter? Every second you wait is a second you’re not building, thinking, or collaborating. Clean UI isn’t just about aesthetics-it’s about getting out of your way and letting you work. Speed is a feature. In 2025, it’s the feature that separates tools you love from tools you tolerate. How did we get there? Ruthless prioritization: Every pixel and line of code had to justify its existence. Svelte for the win: Lightweight, reactive, and built for performance. But here’s the thing: I’m building in public because feedback from this community is how we’ll make far.cx the fastest, most usable tool for modern teams. Would love your feedback: What’s the slowest part of your current workflow? What would you want to see in a lightning-fast project tool? Let’s raise the bar for what “fast” means in SaaS.
