Good question, we’re really not, we’re optimizing for making websites and webapps work and feel like desktop apps.

Not unless you count things like Google Maps, which wouldn’t be possible without SPA-style JavaScript.
- simonw 7y agoI am 100% on board with Google Maps and Trello being built using JavaScript-everything. Most of the things I've seen built using the modern JavaScript stack don't warrant working and feeling like desktop apps. They should work like fast-loading websites - especially on mobile phones, which is the source of most traffic these days.
