📲 What
Currently, we re-fetch backed projects (or starred projects; whichever is currently open) if we notice that the count for either changes. This updates that check to only look at the relevant count (and adds tests).
🤔 Why
There's two things going on here that don't play nicely together.
So, because we were re-fetching backed projects anytime the saved projects count changed and this count usually changed while the profile page was in the middle of doing its initial page, we got into a weird state where the fetch re-triggered and the refresh spinner disappeared. Switching to only using the relevant count doesn't fix either of the underlying issues, but it does mostly mitigate this bug.
Remaining issues
Loading behavior on the profile page is still not perfect. Here's some related problems I saw/have seen that I'm not fixing as part of this bug:
