152 lines of sparse JS ammounting to 5kb uncompressed? Not exactly what I would call "full of js".
For comparison your average hasty made, JS infested legacy web site there embeds Moment.js - and that by itself is 19kb compressed.
- bragr 4y agoCompared to the size of the site, and the features? Yeah, most of them involve some amount of JS. Besides, HN is all dynamic user generated content, that's the crux of web 2.0.
- pluijzer 4y agoHow I perceive it is that web 2.0 is about dynamic loaded content and as far as I know HN doesn't do this but loads static pages from a server just like ye old web 1.0 forum pages would do.
- bragr 4y agoIf you go off Wikipedia's definition, it's more about user generated content and HN is definitely that. Might not meet your definition of web 2.0, but it meets this one: >A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other through social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. This contrasts the first generation of Web 1.0-era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive manner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
- silisili 4y agoI'm not going to argue which web it belongs to, just comment that that definition is a bit odd. Forums would fit that definition, and have existed for far longer. phpBB itself is over 20 years old even. I know it's all arbitrary, but it feels like there should probably be a better definition than the ones given.
