Common code that is always downloaded and parsed every time the app is loaded, no matter which route is used.

name    parsed_size           gzip_size
reader       +732 B  (+0.0%)     -327 B  (-0.1%)

Sections contain code specific for a given set of routes. Is downloaded and parsed only when a particular route is navigated to.

What is parsed and gzip size?

Parsed Size: Uncompressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much code needs to be parsed and stored in memory.

I removed the seen field and replaced it with an icon field that renders the icon in the DataViews mediaField.

[allilevine]

We import these styles in other DataViews implementations on Dotcom.

[allilevine]

This is preventing a blue border under the selected item.

[allilevine]

This is changing the DataViews selected background color to the one in our design.

[allilevine]

This style changes the shape of the DataViews' media field.

[allilevine]

This style changes the padding of the DataViews items to match the design / maximize horizontal space.
