Their experience shouldn’t be much different on an SPA vs an MPA. If they can do an MPA round trip involving a medium-size image, then they should be able to load an SPA.
- xigoi 3y agoSPAs often require an uninterrupted internet connection even if it’s not technically necessary.
- worthless-trash 3y agoMany of them use 'websockets', which break when you have interrupted connectivity.
- christophilus 3y agoThat’s not been my experience, but you may be right. Why do they require an uninterrupted internet connection?
- sergiosgc 3y agoBecause they break when a request fails. MPAs have a request resubmission UI out of the box. They also have request history navigation, easy resource bookmarking and other stuff you can reimplement in an SPA but usually don't.
- xigoi 3y agoI don’t know. Recently I was viewing an image in the Discord web app and it suddenly disappeared because my device had lost connection, even though the image was already fully loaded in the browser.
- ryanbrunner 3y agoI mean to be fair, MPAs are by definition unusable without a consistent internet connection. By design every meaningful interaction needs to communicate with a server.
- xigoi 3y agoMPAs only need connection when navigating to a new page. It is not needed when reading a page.
