Actually I really love the old fashioned cubemail type
interface. Faster to load, more predictable interface where opening in another tab is a thing. I am rarely in a offline situation and if I am I connect a traditional email client that apple provides on my iphone anyway.
Banking - again same kind of argument.
Non JS infused apps have a certain solidness about them. I think it is the predictability. An interactive site will have whatever original UX innovations that team came up with.
Case in point in HN you can paste arbitrary text into a comment without it fucking up. Impossible on Reddit! If I paste there the comment box is now forever fucked until I reload. I need to do the old notepad middleman trick.
Your you lost comments are odd, it is horses for courses always.
- batmansmk 5y agoCubemail is 80% tinymce and queryui on the rendering front. We have different sensibility, Having notifications / autorefresh / working on mobile is more important to me that a predictable, static and stale interface. About the copy and paste situation, having implemented a text editor myself, JS is of great help to handle copy and paste. Just letting the platform do what it does via the text entry of the copy buffer has some underwhelming behavior that are seen as bugs.
- quickthrower2 5y agoCopy and paste in JS is very hard. It is like 2004 style writing code for each browser. The good thing about scripting it is handling images on the clipboard. But Reddit: please invest in making it work and not regressing! If you just need plain text then native HTML works fine. Never had issues when the JS is not interfering.
