My coding style has always been to get out the core functionality then fix everything up, definitely not for everyone. Might be something I need to reconsider when working with others.

I love carbon, but I chose Ionic is because its very suited for mobile development. On the other hand it seems to have very severe limitations for mobile so it seems I have to pull in something else in as well.

The page load takes way too long (you should be using #await whenever possible)

I will, though part of the reason its slow is because its hitting lemmys backend over the network, as opposed to just a local network in a normal setup.
