one interesting design decision of this browser is that rendering is immediate mode, not retained mode.

that means notedeck doesn't need to use memory to maintain an intermediate representation of what is being rendered like web browsers (the DOM).

technically all of the UIs are memoryless. so you could have hundreds of tabs open and they wouldn't use any memory for rendering their views.

it also means that rendering is instant. there is no calculation/layout phase where it has to calculation the positions of divs and stuff. it just immediately renders when you open the app with no loading time.

thats why everything looks and feels so fast.
