SPAs like you described are the coal rollers of the software world. Kill the environment and fry your users laps, just because you can, not for any sensible reason.
We need much more naming and shaming of this practice. Software needs to be more responsible with regards to the resources it consumes, especially if it does so without any apparent neccessity.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoIf all the processing were on the server, this cost would be appropriately measured and monitored. Because it's on the client, and diffused over all users, it's essentially free to the producer, and hence gets much, much worse. As a good example, I remember how Facebook became much, much slower for me post React. This then spread across the web, leading to much pain for a really large amount of users, but counterbalanced by much pleasure for developers. It's funny how that worked out.
