It would make +more sense to have a moving window, showing no more than what it would +take to show the user what is expected at that moment, with the ability +to load high and low, keeping only what the user is _looking at_ in the +DOM tree. + +Proposal: Cards needs a CardCollection proxy object, which the Cards view +object (personal convention: TSX files are named for what they show, +semantically; TS files may be suffixed with "Model" or "Collection", +a'la Backbone, to seperate them from the views, if needed; "Model" +objects are very rarely needed) taps it as the user moves up and down; +the IntersectionObserver tool would be pretty good for this; and if the +proxy actually _cached_ the fields it had already seen, it wouldn't be +slow at all. + +The proxy object could also support the search feature by keeping two +collections: one of the "whole" set, and one of the "last search" set; +the proxy could swap between them as needed. + +Enhancement: Well, it could use a "zoom" feature with a nice overlay. +It might even be lovely to have a second page with all the things I +haven't shown, like attributes, subtype, rarity (not, not the pony), +or keywords. + +Enhancement: It is possible to search based on set, attributes, and so +forth, so a sidebar with those as filters would also be kinda cool.
