OSF My Projects page takes a long time to load

[danielvartan]

Hi there,

Thank you for your work on this amazing project!

This is an issue that has been happening for a long time, but I hadn’t had the time to report it until now. The problem is that the OSF "My Projects" page is very slow to load. While this doesn’t affect my overall use of the platform, it is quite annoying.

I’ve recorded a video showing the loading time—you can access it here.

Thank you!

Yes, we are very of this issue and have an entirely new UI in development including the "My Projects" page. I'd just personally like to apologize for the "My Projects" page being slow. We had gradually added so many features onto our file-picker system that it is now very cumbersome and slow for power users. However the new design is much faster and generally more streamlined and user friendly.

If you are curious about other UI changes you can see the development here: https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/angular-osf as it's ongoing.
