Hey @arminunruh :)) was great to see you started coding this! do u have any idea when it'll be available?

@arminunruh will the same issue occur on safari mobile if you have too many projects it will crash?

[clrcrtq]

[arminunruh]

@arminunruh will the same issue occur on safari mobile if you have too many projects it will crash?

no this wont happen because with this feature it will only load the project once you clicked on it.
so this way we wont have too much markup

@arminunruh nice! will it be possible to adjust the widths for project overlays, like how you can for page overlays? thanks for implementing this feature!

[arminunruh]

no :/ why would u want that

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh yeah I realise it's not really needed but I was wondering as now project overlays won't break on safari you could use project overlays instead of page overlays for certain things.

[arminunruh]

page overlays only broke safari on iOS when you used like 10 page overlays on one page

usually this happened when people created pages instead of projects to then open all these pages as overlays

at the moment, only overlays that are open-able on the current page are loaded into the markup, so this reduces the chance that we get too many page overlays at once

the reasoning behind this preloading of page overlays was just:

• i thought people would have max 2 overlays on a page. maybe a about/contact overlay and a desktop burger menu
• when the overlay markup already exists and is just hidden, a click to make the overlay show will show it immediately without any loading (which i think is important for burger menus for example)

but since we now have the project overlays feature, theres no reason to misuse the page overlays feature like i described so i guess its fine, but let me know if you run into any issues!
