I have been messing about trying to get a different look to other sites and have built a Facebook style topic modal. It seems to load quicker for me and seems to be more fluent on desktop. What are your thoughts? Link to test is https://www.carptalk-online.co.uk/ (only works on Desktop)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to @Don for getting this modal working. I’d been struggling with it for a while and had tried a few different approaches, but Don managed to put together a solution that actually works properly. Really appreciate you taking the time to build it and share it — it…

After more testing, i have used the non js version that google sees and it loads instantly in the modal, if i can somehow use the contents of that it would make this rapid

在电脑端看起来非常不错，在移动端的加载速度有点缓慢，点击后只能看到一个无内容的页面和右上角的关闭按钮，似乎需要面对一个空白页面等待很久。

This is what i’m working on now :slight_smile: At the minute its just a concept I want to make reality. However on my device it does load in 2 seconds on mobile with the discourse spinner loading icon so not sure whats happening. Probably because the server is in london UK with no CDN as of yet

I have turned this off on the main site as its now getting traffic with people registering, so its been put on a test server. Hopefully will have this done by middle of August if anyone is interested in a modal

Hello :waving_hand: Different approach from @Damian_Boon ’s though: no iframe, everything runs as native Glimmer components reusing Discourse’s own Post/post-stream mechanism. Since a few specific questions came up in the thread, here’s how I ended up solving each one. Why not an iframe An iframe…

I’d love to test your version @Don :heart_eyes:

Hello :waving_hand: Sure, absolutely! Originally, I built this feature directly into my own custom theme, so I had to extract and split it into a standalone theme component. On my own site, I trigger the modal via a dedicated button, whereas this theme component triggers it directly when clicking …

Wow, looks very fast. I really like it. Would be very interested if you open-source it. Nice work
