It's the "app-like" experience that everyone is chasing.
Loading a new page feels like browsing the internet.
Single Page apps feel like a native app on your phone.
At least that's what I think the reasoning behind the decision to go client side rendering is.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoNah, it doesn't "feel like" a native app. It feels like an incredibly fragile app-like porcelain on top of a webpage. A native app, a webview packed as an app and a website looking like an app are all easy to tell apart if you've used all three categories in the past and have at least little attention to details. But yes, I can buy this is part of the reasoning. I think most of it is "we need to make SaaS; cool kids use React, so we'll use React too; now we have an SPA, so the easiest path is client-side navigation".
