I keep thinking how sad RSC are for users in general, in that while yes the pages load faster, it de-APIs the web/Web app. Instead of a bunch of JSON endpoints

I keep thinking how sad RSC are for users in general, in that while yes the pages load faster, it de-APIs the web/Web app. Instead of a bunch of JSON endpoints feeding a thick client, we are back to a more thin client model, where the server controls & drives the experience. What advanced users can do is far greater with a more data-centric web, when there is a thick client to riff on. Those folks can build & share their own tools to amplify/augment/supplement the provided experience. Leaving the door open to innovation like that is something I'm sad to see the pendulum swings away from; the user has a vastly freer hand to make their own advanced with under the thick client model.

Hey, I know you, you're an alt of rektide right? I believe we have talked before if so. Personally, I don't see the web the same way as you seem to, I am just fine with a client server model, as well as utilizing technologies like Flutter.

  I think you may be confused. I'm a 6 month old account, not a 15 year old account. I don't appreciate being tied to some other past. Please, it would be polite & civil if you would delete or reword this post.

    I must be mistaken then, I saw some of your other comments over the past few months and thought to myself, why does this rhetoric sound oddly familiar and thought that there was only one other person on this site which I've interacted with in my life, not just even on HN, that had such a love for the web (and also used some weirdly strong language in expressing said love as well as disdain for other anti-open-client technologies like Flutter, which I personally use), and I compared some of the comments which seemed to me to be extremely similar. But I guess, there might be more of these types of web-loving people than I had thought on HN.
