Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Mostly I use Actual through the desktop app, but I often use the browser version on mobile (Firefox on an Android, 4GLTE/5G mobile data connection) when I am out and need to record a transaction I just made. It often takes a long time for page to load (I have not timed. It is an amount that is noticeable and feels too long to wait. Probably less than 1 minute though). Since all I want to do is record a transaction in an account, I do not want to have to wait for everything to load for full functionality. I am logged in and want to be able to quickly bring up a page to record the transaction and move on.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Add an option that allows a quick or shallow or minimal load of the data that allows viewing accounts and adding new transactions, but not viewing any existing transactions.

Teaching and learning

I would recommend not changing the default behavior. Perhaps this could be an advanced option to select so that way only people that want it turned on would get the experience.
