virtual-scroller: Let there be less (DOM)
summary
Proposes a first-class virtual scroller for HTML built as a JavaScript custom element using a pay-as-you-go module and experimenting with Layered APIs; introduces an invisible DOM primitive so links and Find-in-Page work even when nodes aren’t rendered; demo shows a 5,000-item list with only a few nodes in the DOM and load time dropping from about seven seconds to ~three on an Android Go phone, reducing blanking and jank in practice.
