When a chat gets long, does reopening it have to get slower too?
The longer a conversation gets, the more messages and activity it has—but reopening it should not get slower just because the history is valuable. In 0.1.163, a real long conversation became ready to use in about 0.3 seconds instead of about 8 seconds.
Reopening a long conversation is dramatically faster: it can be ready to use in about 0.3 seconds instead of about 8 seconds, with the complete history unchanged.
When a Conversation accumulated a large number of messages and activity details, reopening it could previously cause a noticeable wait. The first content took time to appear, and getting back to work took even longer.
Keep the history, load only what you need first
FinchStory now opens the essential parts of a long conversation first and fills in the remaining details smoothly. Activity details that are folded away are prepared only when you choose to open them.
The app also avoids repeating work when you switch between conversations.
A long conversation is ready in a fraction of a second
- First content appears in about 0.1 seconds, instead of about 1.6 seconds.
- The conversation is ready to use in about 0.3 seconds, instead of about 8 seconds.
The complete history is still there. FinchStory simply no longer makes you wait for every hidden detail before you can continue working.
Faster reopening without losing history
The speed improvement does not delete, shorten, or rewrite the conversation. Your messages and activity history remain available when you return.
A long Conversation can keep growing. Its history should not become a penalty every time you come back to it.
