People tend to blame SPAs/JavaScript (instead of the people holding them) for breaking the address bar, the back button and the ability to open links in a new tab, but this does all three of those.

- zelphirkalt 3y agoDoes it? Or is playing another track conceptually a new page?
- asddubs 3y agoIMO a new page is when you explicitly click something and most of the page changes
- sanitycheck 3y agoYeah, I just tried it and it's horrible! I'm all for making things work without JS, but demonstrating that my experience can be equally bad with plain HTML+CSS doesn't feel like an improvement. Anyway we can have SPAs with a working back button and a working address bar with sufficient competence and motivation. Links in a new tab would work if all the state was in the URL, but messy URLs are unfashionable these days.
