Front-end Query Changes

The core of this update is to significantly improve the way Waterly loads the data capture screens for each of your sites.  Yeah, we knew it was getting slower and not fun waiting for it to load.  You should see a significant improvement in the load times, whether you are on a tablet, your device, or your computer.

Some technical details: Waterly uses specific technologies to represent the interface.  One of the great features of the tools we use is that they are very flexible in how we build software in the browser, and how it queries data from the server.  The downside is that there is potential to perform too much work as part of each request, which can slow down the server.  The changes we're applying here are to include some new tooling that will capture all the requests that are part of building your page, and batching them into packaged up requests for the database.  Bottom line is that the changes we are making will result in much cleaner and streamlined queries, resulting in significantly improved data entry load times.

Coming Soon

We have some features queued up that we'll be releasing soon that will improve the visual appearance of the application while it is loading.  Additionally, we'll be making even further speed ups by only querying for what you need, at the moment you need it, which will make Waterly feel even faster.
