=================================================================================

AgileData.io - Faster, Smoother Experience: Enhanced Application Performance

We've significantly improved how the application loads and displays information, making your experience faster and more responsive. Pages now load incrementally with skeleton screens showing you what's coming while data loads in parallel behind the scenes.

Waiting for pages to load can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to get work done quickly. We've redesigned how the application fetches and displays data, implementing parallel API calls and progressive loading patterns that make the interface feel snappier and more responsive, even when working with large catalogs or complex data models.

**What's New:**

* Parallel API calls that fetch multiple data sources simultaneously
* Skeleton loading screens that show page structure while content loads
* Incremental catalog display mixing fast and slow API responses
* Special loading screen for cold starts on App Engine
* Improved initial page load for catalog and other data-heavy screens

**What this means for you:**

* Faster perceived performance - see page structure immediately even while data loads
* More responsive interface that doesn't leave you staring at blank screens
* Better use of your time - start orienting yourself while data loads in the background
* Smoother experience when navigating between pages
* Less waiting, more working
