Now, come on. Very few people in here would say that js had no place in the web. A lot of people are against js when alternatives exist. Trello is an application, so js makes sense there. A blog article that doesn't even display when js does not load, that's where people have a problem.
- baroffoos 7y agoIt seems a large chunk of people would rather trello was built entirely out of html forms so you press a <button> to make the card move to the left and then the page refreshes with the card moved.
- acdha 7y agoThis is an uncharitable interpretation: many people would like it if things which were billed as being faster were in fact consistently faster and degraded well. That doesn't mean that Trello should trigger navigation every time you move a card but it does mean that anyone taking over a core browser function is taking on a higher level of responsibility to do performance, accessibility, and compatibility testing. A similar issue comes up with Google AMP: it's billed as a web performance move but it's regularly slower and the failure mode is that you don't see anything at all. That doesn't mean that the problem is completely intractable but the act of taking over a core function put the onus on them to do a less shoddy job.
