Bug#799442: hledger-web: Send the whole journal to the browser, every time

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: hledger-web
Version: 0.23.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Control: found -1 0.24.1-1+b1 0.26-1

hledger-web sends the whole transaction journal to the browser. This is on 
initial loading as well as after entering each transaction. This is a lot of 
data, dating back to the start of the financial period. In my case it is a 
solid 2GB of HTML (9 months). For me this makes hledger-web hardly usable on a 
weaker or badly connected devices.

It would be nice if only the most recent transactions are loaded by default (a 
week?) and the older transactions are accessible via paging or "infinite 
scroll" interface.


Thanks,
