One of the best parts of Twitter is they load their main and the various sidebar widgets asynchronously. That allows you to see things that load first, and makes it appear as if something is "happening".
I don't like this concept of sending the page structure as JSON.
It would require all parts of the UI to just be stuck on "loading" while the back-end essentially the entire page.
If you decide to turn this into "ok well make it /page/a/component/3" then we're back to square one on the whole idea.
- hakunin 5y agoIf everything on the page is slow to load, then I would agree. Twitter is such a crazy outlier that I can't even imagine what they have to deal with. In a usual case you'd get a rare 1-2 slow retrievals, and the rest of the page can show up immediately.
