Previously, when you did a "mark as unread from here" operation, we triggered
a full rerender of both the recent topics view and the message feed. This was
needlessly expensive, on and a large server with a somewhat busy CPU from
other applications, can cause a visible lag, even when the message feed that
you're looking at only has like 3 messages in it.
Improve this by passing the set of modified messages to the rerender.
There's likely further improvements to be made here -- we shouldn't need to
do more than toggle the unread markers -- but this should be good enough to
eliminate the visible lag.
Fixes#24263.
Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.
