I think old.reddit.com's interface is more user-friendly than HN's. Why should I leave the page to write a comment? Avoiding JS just for the sake of avoiding is just blind fanaticism under the pretense of being faster and more lightweight.
(The new reddit redesign is a resource hogging abomination riddled with needless SPA bullshit, but the old reddit design was pretty clean and minimal and yet an SPA.)
- robjan 8y agoThe old Reddit design isn't really an SPA. It's just server rendered with a bit of Ajax for interactivity
- adtac 8y agoI think the definition is a bit murky there. I can do a _lot_ of things on a Reddit page without a refresh: add comments, delete comments, edit, sticky, report as spam, save, hide the post, view the contents of the post (if it's an image), crosspost to other subs, etc. I understand that a true SPA would never require a refresh for anything, but this comes pretty close.
