- pier25 6y agoThe video is about turbolinks, which basically makes a request with JS to the server and then replaces the HTML in the body of the page. This results in a performance increase. Turbolinks is heavily used in Rails sites like Github for example. It also showcases a Turbolinks version for iOS which works differently as it connects with the native app for changing views etc. The guy in the video still works at Basecamp and worked on HEY too so I assume they used Turbolinks for iOS.
- jdxcode 6y agoI think I'm missing something. It's still in the App Store, right? Seems to me that they'd still happily reject it even if the rendering is done server-side.
- pier25 6y agoMy initial point was that since they are already using web technology they could probably move it to a web app for mobile outside the AppStore. But, as paulgb pointed out in another comment, Safari for iOS hasn't implemented push notifications from web apps which is probably a deal breaker for most users of an email app.
