Broken on Firefox (v 109, on macOS Ventura) with NoScript -- keeps refreshing too fast to tell NoScript to temporarily allow scripts from some of the sources. Keeps refreshing continuously if I disable all restrictions on that tab.

I couldn't get far enough with it to even see the complete loaded UI.

View on HN

Even without NoScript it's rapidly reloading.

Looking at the code, it looks like they are not logging into MongoDB/Realm async, they are just checking if it is done, then reloading the page if not.

    const user = app.logIn(credentials);

    export const client = num_users===0 ?  
    // wait for 1 second before reloading the page
    setTimeout(() => {
      window.location.reload();
    }, 350) : app.currentUser.mongoClient("mongodb-atlas")

(which coincides with loads of realm users in localstorage if it continues to reload)

This https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/web/authenticate/ shows how to login whilst waiting for a user to be created.

Edit: @aditiyadav Hope that doesn't come across wrong, just pointing out where the problem could be :)

@bennyp101 Thanks a lot for your feedback! I am grateful for you spending time on my website and pointing out the problem along with the possible solution :) Really appreciate it. Fixing on it now.

This really helped me @bennyp101, Hopefully the issue is resolved now.

Thanks a lot for the feedbacks, Have been heads-down here and now its loading without any glitch. WIP on making it responsive across screens and improving ML models to understand natural language queries.

Much appreciated!

Utter waste of time to get anything working with noscript. That's pandering to a niche of a niche.

When technical niche users tell you about a problem, you almost certainly have that problem.

When general users tell you about a problem, 80% of the time it's not that problem.

Thanks folks for pointing out the issues. Have been heads-down here and now its loading without any glitch. WIP on making it responsive across screens and improving ML models to understand natural language queries. Much appreciated!
