For most real-world projects, it’s frankly too early to realize the PRPL vision in its purest, most complete form – but it’s definitely not too early to adopt the mindset, or to start chasing the vision from various angles.
This reminded me of the "worse is better" essay, because it sounds very much like the perfectionist "MIT approach".

I personally prefer an emphasis on simplicity over perfection, especially when simplicity means you actually get working code. Is there any sample app around that obeys the PRPL pattern and is a good example to start from?
- addy_osmani 10y agoSure. If you're a React/Webpack fan, take a look at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/preload-webpack-plugin/tree/master/demo https://github.com/GoogleChrome/preload-webpack-plugin/tree/.... Twitter.com also just shipped a PWA using the PRPL pattern to production if you take a look at their mobile web app on Android (or via DevTools Device Mode) in case you're looking for something more complex to dive into.

- a3n 10y agoWhat is any possible motivation for doing that? The only one that comes to mind is "I hate when people link to me from other sites," but that makes no sense. It's not hot-linking to a resource, it's just a page address. (And apparently a lot of other people want to see that picture, as right now I'm just waiting for imgur to do its thing.)
- lacker 10y agoAh, sorry, I forgot about that property of jwz.org :/
