Off-topic, but as a non-native speaker I’m curious if it’s common to say “more and more slow” as opposed to “slower and slower” (maybe to emphasize the adjective?)

For real. I've been hearing the interface is slow and requires Javascript for years and never really paid much mind, it worked for me. But lately the page loading has gotten abusively slow. I don't think it can be simply blamed on React because that move was made long before this started.

I've taken to loading projects in github.dev for navigating repos so I pay the js tax just once and it's fine for code reading. But navigating PRs and actions is terrible.
