Right now, the no-JS UI is visible while the JS UI loads. This causes differences in appearance (reply links vs reply boxes) and behavior (reply on new page vs reply inline), and in some cases causes differences in behavior *without* a corresponding difference in appearance, which is bad.
Instead, we should do something like .client-js .flow-blah { display: none; } until the UI is done loading.

Disable and partially hide content while flow-JS is loading
@Pginer-WMF Could you look at Moriel's patch and tell us what you think?
From what I could test, it seems to work well in reducing the initial glitch.
I think that Matthias comment about using the waiting cursor makes sense. Although I have been testing under a simulated low network and everything was happening quite fast (maybe my test flow board is too small).
What I also noticed is the tendency of the ToC/sorting bar to disappear causing the content to jump. It happens on initial load but also when switching the sorting criteria. This is something we may want to fix as we move to the new version (T89422).
What do you mean exactly? Do you mean the phenomenon where the TOC appears late and pushes down the rest of the page?

Do you mean the phenomenon where the TOC appears late and pushes down the rest of the page?
Yes, and the same phenomenon happens when you change from "newest topics" to "recently active topics".
Checked on beta and mediawiki.
