It might have something to do with the new reddit being a web app, while old reddit is a website. I've seldom worked on frontend, but I think that with a website, a lot of the hard parts are handled by the browser, whereas with a web app the hard parts you do yourself, poorly.
- Timon3 3y agoIt's less that you have to do the hard parts yourself - the browser brings solutions for almost any SPA issue. The problem is more that you have the option to work around those nice browser implementations, which many big web apps choose to do. Some do so because the APIs weren't available when they were developed, while others do it for analytics purposes.
