Portfolio page slow to open

Has anyone else noticed that it takes a long time to open a portfolio page? Hereโ€™s the address of my page:

https://www.appsheet.com/portfolio/230844

Iโ€™ve tried to open it is several different browsers and, regardless of the browser, it takes a long time. Other portfolioโ€™s seem to be a little faster:

Still, even when the portfolio pages open more quickly than mine, they seem to be rather sluggish.

Finally while Iโ€™m on the subject of portfolio pages two more questions:

  1. Wouldnโ€™t it be nice to have a way to search for or find other portfolio pages more easily? I had to search through this community with โ€œhttps://www.appsheet.com/portfolio/โ€ to find these.
  2. Am I the only one who finds the lack of a margin on the left side of the portfolio page, as demonstrated in the following post, to be a problem?

Yes, it has always been extremely slow for me. Along with a few other appsheet pages which I canโ€™t recall right now.

Same. Always slow- every time I open it.

Yes, this morning, I noticed the same when I open up my own portfolio page.
It tooks some minutes just to open the page. Obviously something goes wrong then.

The oddness still there. I hit portfolio page, then really nothing happen on load. It looks browser freezed. Then leave the page untouched. After a minute or so, then page to openโ€ฆ

Escalated.

To me this has always been veeeeery slow.

Agreed!


Works on Google, too! Found over 10 pages of portfolios.

Thanks @GreenFlux ! I was just thinking about the issue today before I saw your post but I had forgotten about this thread. The search method you shared is excellent but I wish AppSheet would make that a part of the platform. Imagine having to use a trick like this to find YouTube content. I think the YouTube analogy is valid in that those of us who make sample apps (or, in my case a fully functional app that can be used for free after the โ€œsampleโ€ is copied) are providing content for the AppSheet platform, just as YouTube users are supplying the platform wth content. Itโ€™s true that AppSheet isnโ€™t as dependent on user-created content as YouTube is, but I think it is the case that user-created content has the potential to enhance the value of the AppSheet platform is an analogous way.

Despite the potential similarities between AppSheet and YouTube in terms of user-generated content, the difference in the visibility of such content on the two platforms is huge. I canโ€™t see how this is good for any of the interested parties, either Google (AppSheet), sample app builders, or AppSheet users hoping to learn. Any thoughts about this fundamental issue, @praveen ?

Hi!  I'm coming back to this post of mine after a long hiatus. It seems that the problem remains unresolved.  For this reason I have not been relying on the portfolio feature to publish sample apps recently.   For information about how to publish sample / template apps directly through a URL that opens very quickly (and circumvents the portfolio page) please see the following:
