I’m noticing that markdown lists (ordered and unordered) can really bring Tap Forms to a crawl. In particular, if a note contains more than 500 words or so, this becomes very pronounced. Selecting the form takes 4-5 seconds and selecting records within the form takes several seconds. This happens even if there is only one note in the form.
If I have a 1,000 word note with 100 lines, list characters at the beginning of the line create a noticeable performance hit as Tap Forms tries to render the display. If I remove the list characters, the performance is pretty snappy, as you would expect.
Not sure if there is an easy solution to this on the development side. I would think so, since text notes are so lightweight. I guess I’ll stick to plain text for now, as the performance is better. Even with plain text, there is a little bit of a hit for longer notes.
Hi John,
Hmm… I’ll have to give that a try.
Do you have a sample list that I could test out?
But in my cursory testing with a list of 240 items, there’s definitely a performance penalty for rendering that much markdown.
I’ll have to dig into this some more.
Thanks,
Brendan
