Offline mdn content and auto revalidate: unneeded CPU usage

[bansan85]

I want to run the mdn content offline. When I run yarn start and open http://localhost:5042/en-us/docs/learn/getting_started_with_the_web, the page is always refreshed every 500ms :

Listening on port 5042

How can I disable this feature ? At the current time, I disabled JavaScript in Firefox but I don't like this solution. It looks to be related to swr and revalidation.

I tried to add REACT_APP_NO_WATCHER=true REACT_APP_DEV_MODE=false REACT_APP_WRITER_MODE=false when calling yari-server but it doesn't help.

Hello @bansan85
It seems that this is the way Yari handles hot reloads. If you are just using it to view the docs without modifying the content, you should run it in production mode.
You can run it in production mode by running:

NO_WATCH=true NODE_ENV=production yarn start

Your way of doing it doesn't affect the watchers.
