A great collection of App performance articles

This is a blog post quote from other people, but want to put it here as self reference in the future and in the hope that it will help more people. 

There have been some great app performance resources surfacing recently, so I thought it would make sense to do a roundup.

I've recently seen apps whose performance is being crushed by large & expensive paints, extra layouts, bad event decoupling or too many network requests. They are all fixable items, and Chrome's DevTools and tracing tool both do a great job of showing you what's going on under the hood.
