Metamask is slow to pop up after clicking create proposal and vote buttons

[ianconsolata]

When I click the create proposal or vote buttons, it takes awhile for metamask to pop up and ask me to submit the transaction.

I understand why there would be a delay after I submit the metamask transaction before things get stored on chain, but shouldn't the metamask UI pop up immediately? What is causing the delay?

Hi @ianconsolata, it's because we need to first store the proposal data in web3.storage, and wait for web3.storage to return the CID before calling Metamask for signing. Therefore, some time needs to be waited before Metamask is opened.

I am checking with the web3.storage team to see if there is a way to get the CID earlier, if not then I think we should just make the loading messages clearer (i.e. "Uploading proposal to web3.storage...") so folks know why it is taking longer.
