> a forum, why make it an SPA?
A forum is actually a pretty solid choice for an SPA, specifically the isomorphic react kind next.js sponsors. If you disagree or don't need the benefits, most existing forum software is already not an SPA, so no big deal. But a forum as an SPA can enable some more high tech forum solutions that may blur the distinction between forum community and slack community. Once the groundwork is laid out, who knows what kind of alternative architectures or plugins we'll see for it.
Also, when JS is disabled, the server will take you to the intended page and render it for you. Literally the best of both worlds.
- lenkite 10y agoHave a look at the D lang forums - which is written in D - statically rendered with very little JS and loads at _light speed_ to see why a forum shouldn't be a SPA. https://forum.dlang.org/ https://forum.dlang.org/
- underwater 10y agoThat's a big standard forum. Implementing it as an SPA would be silly. Parent comment's point was that you could create different experiences that bring it closer to Slack.
- Can_Not 10y agoI've been a heavy forum connoisseur for a very long time, I'm talking about interactive and application-level possibilities, not "fast because fast backend language". That forum looks like any other forum.
