# App load order
Old slow flow:

Current more parallel flow:

Key:
+ Parallelogram: async/await task
+ Box: sync task
+ Diamond: conditional branch
+ Egg: user interaction
+ Blue arrow: async task is allowed to settle but allowed to fail
+ Red arrow: async task success is asserted
Notes:
+ A task begins when all its dependencies (arrows going into it) are fulfilled.
+ The success of setting up rageshake is never asserted, element-web has a fallback path for running without IDB (and thus rageshake).
+ Everything is awaited to be settled before the Modernizr check, to allow it to make use of things like i18n if they are successful.
Underlying dependencies:
