		gregable on Aug 4, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: How can we destroy AMP? AMP hides the entire page to avoid what is known as a Flash of Unstyled Content (FOUC). The document unhides as soon as a single AMP javascript resource loads, or an 8s timeout if that fails. That javascript is very cacheable and is often already in the browser cache to begin with.

The page is also readable without that script and browser engines already delay the initial paint. So this is entirely unnecessary.
