I've been thinking about how web apps nowadays seem to pack many features-from dark mode to animations, rich client-side interactions, offline support and more. All of this is great, but I keep wondering: at what point do these extras hurt performance or the user experience? A few things I'm curious about: Do developers here ever delay implementing a "nice extra" because it slows down load time? What metrics or tools do you use to measure whether a feature is "too expensive" in terms of performance (mobile especially)? Are there features you've removed / scaled back after noticing performance issues? How do you decide which features are "must-have" and which are "nice-to-have" when building something new?

When designing for mobile, it's crucial to examine your CSS styles closely. Extensive margins or paddings can create unintentional whitespace, making the page look unprofessional. As a best practice, consider using percentage-based values or media queries to adjust the layout dynamically based on screen size. This way, you can ensure that your site maintains a balanced look across different devices without the unnecessary empty space.
