My browser has a refresh button. Alas your application likely breaks when I use it.
- rvanmil 3y agoNot entirely sure why it would break…?
- klysm 3y agoclient side state that isn't in the URL or local storage
- chgs 3y agoClearly I don’t know what your application is, but many heavyweight “web apps” don’t cope with a simple refresh, kicking back to a default screen or even login screen in some cases.
- hobobaggins 3y agoSometimes this is to scope logins to single tabs for security reasons (I think that's why Userify does it that way). It's annoying but for infrequently used apps, no worse than getting logged out every three minutes.
- wruza 3y agoAlso some apps ignore simple refresh and only react to hard refresh (ctrl-f5 and alikes). Refresh is as unreliable as other methods from user pov.
- WuxiFingerHold 3y agoIn this threads context of sending specific application data from the server, I don't think this will happen.
