Slow iOS app startup time

I find the startup time of the iOS app prohibitively slow (8 seconds or more on an iPhone 14). It dramatically increases the friction of getting in when I need to write down an idea or look something up. Is this on the roadmap to address? Other apps like Bear, Apple Notes, or even Obsidian load instantly by comparison.

I have a moderately sized (~1500 node) graph loaded.

I agree @jrk. I want to get something out of my head quickly. Way too much friction. Would be interested in what the plan is here. Almost unusable.

Relatedly: is the iOS app open source if I wanted to look into this?

Is this something that is being addressed? I have a decent sized graph, and waiting minutes for it to load makes it unusable.

yes, its a work in progress.
