Don't forget the cleanest, best-performing one: the classic "Basic HTML" interface. Which manages to be much faster for most operations than Inbox or the AJAXified normal version despited having to reload the whole page.
- movedx 10y agoYou just have to love that classic approach to web development, right? JavaScript is great for improving the user experience, but it's often vastly overused and just makes me scream for simpler times such as the classic web app.
- ashark 10y agoI'm increasingly convinced that much better solutions to most of the problems Javascript and AJAX solve ("solve") would have been better frames and improved HTML forms.
- movedx 10y agoExactly! I use Bootstrap for the auto-scaling to the device, and AlpacaJS for the dynamically generated and adjustable forms... but that's it. That's all I want from JS: form management and validation, and responsive design (and I believe the latter is done in pure CSS anyway?)
- pjmlp 10y ago"Modern" web has made me embrace back native development and see the web as HTML/CSS only, as it should have stayed.
- movedx 10y agoI totally agree. JavaScript for dynamic forms and validation, and any responsive design functionality it gives me through the use of Bootstrap/SemanticUI... that's it.
