> People complain about reddit a lot, but even on mobile, the reddit website is fast. It may be janky at times, but navigating between comments on stories is under a second, loading more comments is, well, not fast, but quick.
Reddit is an example that clearly shows that the user experience of "old-style" code where interactions are primarily with the server beats out SPA.
old.reddit.com is clearly superior in pretty much every way save some pretty old CSS styling (which could easily be fixed without changing the underlying technology). The rewrite still feels buggy and slow, and the added interactivity doesn't really make a meaningful difference.
- com2kid 4y agoold.reddit.com is great when I am travelling and limited to 128kbit/s of data. The new site solves the problem of not losing my place in the feed when leaving a story, which is a huge pain point of the original reddit design.
