I don't understand the technique at art.sy - It loads a lot of stuff when you open a page for the first time but interestingly when you navigate for another page, it does not seem to be loading anything except for a 1x1 gif. How come the URL changes (full change not just like hashbangs) but nothing particular is loaded from the server? Is there a name for this technique? Is there any framework supports this?
- orta 14y agoSorry, I should have been more specific, I meant for the art.sy iPad app! A lot of what the website does is black-magic (or backbone js -whichever) to me :)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoHTML5 history.pushState
- celalo 14y agoThanks a lot.
- udp 14y agoI still don't understand why Twitter doesn't use that where available.
- orta 14y agoThey are working on that right now: http://engineering.twitter.com/ http://engineering.twitter.com/
- pooriaazimi 14y agoFYI, GitHub uses it extensively in their source browser: https://github.com/blog/760-the-tree-slider https://github.com/blog/760-the-tree-slider
- scott_w 14y agoBecause when Twitter started, pushState wasn't available to them. It will take time to transition over, and to fully deprecate hash bangs. (Hash Bangs were still the wrong way to do it of course, even back then).
