download what you need as a batch, and then serve static results

Yeah, I think this is what I am going to do for the most part. Especially when dealing with the slow api responses, I can just make all the requests in a background script and save what I need to a local database. It's just text at the end of the day, so even a couple thousand entries is nothing.

Promises in JS

Haven't really gotten a handle on these yet. I have almost exclusively worked with python and R in the past, so dipping a toe into JS has been challenging. I haven't gotten too far into frontend stuff yet, but think I might try to just avoid it as much as possible through flask+htmx. Some JS is going to be unavoidable though I think since I do want certain things to be interactable.

You guys have just reminded me why I no longer try to do any kind of website work. 🙄 😭
