I still don't understand it. I was under the impression that animations are also able to be served through HTML5? Both CSS and HTML should be sufficient. ~We're in the age where we're able to serve an entire sqlite database over a static website, yet an animation does require javascript?~
EDIT: I am wrong to think that serving and interacting with a sqlite database goes without javascript.
- jefftk 5y agoAnimations can be CSS, yes. That's what you do in https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/a4a_spec/ https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/a4a... (declarative ad format, no advertiser-written JS)
- hetspookjee 5y agoThen I don't understand the necessity for javascript in ads?
- jefftk 5y agoIn this particular case, advertisers were not interested in moving to a declarative format, and publishers were not interested in requiring declarative ads. So it didn't end up going anywhere as a general purpose ad format.
- danachow 5y ago> We're in the age where we're able to serve an entire sqlite database over a static website Making use of the SQLite database is entirely client side and requires JavaScript or WASM (the distinction is unimportant) - it requires running code on the frontend. This is not a great way to state your case.
- hetspookjee 5y agoYou're right and I misinterpreted the sqlite implementation. I will edit my comment to reflect my error.
