> A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or web site that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page rather than loading entire new pages from a server. I guess the definition of an SPA is not as strict as Wikipedia says? But what makes such a web app (like you mention with actual page navigation) an SPA? That's just a ... normal web app/site. I guess the point was that a perfect SPA has a fallback mode that works without JS? I'm just not sure that exists at the moment. If you invest in an SPA and its (perceived) advantages aren't you choosing it precisely because you want it to be more than a traditional web app with individual pages? Hence all the JS and reactiveness in the browser. Building a degraded fallback mode would be admirable but it's a whole lot of added complexity (have to find alternative UX to accomplish those JS interactive pieces). If your SPA isn't actually an SPA maybe just stick with a traditional setup. That's why I don't understand the drift in that original comment.
