Steps to reproduce

Open Firefox or Chrome mobile. Scroll through lots of pictures in your "Search" uncategorized section.

Expected Result

Keep scrolling fast.

Actual Result

Scrolling gradually gets slower and slower, to the point where loading the next 50 photos takes 10+ seconds. Firefox hard locks, Chrome "Aw, Snap!".

Our latest development preview comes with performance improvements: https://docs.photoprism.app/release-notes/#development-preview.

A timeline view that is optimized for fast scrolling is planned as well: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/152

Understood.

I'm assuming you would still like this bug open due to the hard crash nature of it?

I am aware of the technical limitations of the current architecture. Done is better than perfect, especially when you have a small team and a lot of feature requests to consider.

The good news is, we've made a lot of performance and memory usage improvements in the last few weeks! It would be great if you could try this out, as it could improve your experience immediately (feedback is welcome in GitHub Discussions):

All browsers and devices have some sort of memory limit, especially mobile devices. Personally never had any issues on Android, so either I'm not scrolling hard enough or if you are getting a "hard crash" also depends on the OS and Browser settings. Some device vendors might be more aggressive than others.

General notes on using PhotoPrism:

consider searching only a reasonable number of images at a time, while we continue to improve the user interface for users who prefer scrolling to searching (or who simply have a large amount of photos).
we recommend not packing thousands of images into a single album and actively using search filters to limit the number of search results, e.g. filter by date, unless you really need to load all images at the same time:

I'll close this as we know the limitations and there are already a few issues targeting your use case.... hope that's ok! :)
