Yes the reason for that is that step information needs to be fetched with
additinal REST calls, which would make it very slow to load.
We have a well separated REST api, so that each entity is on a separate
REST api.
This is in principle a good idea, but in practicle this makes it difficult
to create complex pages showing lots of information.
This is one of the improvement I want to do for next releases to have a way
to still have a generic REST api, but be able to fetch a complete data tree
in one call.

In browser caching was removed from buildbot nine because it added more
problems that resolve. This is also a thing that I want to improve for best
release.

Indeed this one would be a very simple yet useful improvement.

The home page https://buildbot.anybox.fr/#/ has this purpose of being the
one that you look at.
It is updated in live meaning you dont have to hit refresh all the time.
you can middle click to each build to see the details.
