Notes
    gollark: It's probably better for most usecases.
    gollark: You can also do very fancy trendy stuff like infinite scroll, where client-side JS loads in new data when you get near the bottom.
    gollark: I mean, pagination is hardly difficult, and has been implemented on the scroll, as well as presumably other stuff.
    gollark: Changing the colours of the buttons then changing them back: more important than pagination.
    gollark: When was the trading hub added?
