As a point of pride I don't publish broken web resources, so it's disappointing to see that they still lack any kind of progressive enhancement support and don't seem to be working on it.
- SudarshanP 16y agoConsider something like GMail. For all those who have an unsupported browser, they have basic HTML view so that you are not locked out of your email on an old browser. The bells and whistles go to users who can use a decent browser. It is far nicer to think of a basic HTML minimum viable app and an app with a desktop like experience than thinking of gracefully degrading each feature of your app.
- gw 16y agoSproutCore, as its homepage states, is meant for "desktop-class web applications," not sprucing up static content. Progressive enhancement is meaningless for this. If you don't have javascript, the web app simply won't run. Accessibility is still an important consideration, but that is a distinct concept. Principles are important, but principles divorced from context is dogma.
