Frontend devs were largely bullied into imitating traditional MPAs by people posting memes about SPAs and loading spinners. A huge percentage of pages could simply be pre-rendered (e.g. static landing pages and documentation sites), or they're behind a login wall in which case SEO no longer really matters. Deploying an SPA used to mean uploading a few scripts and html documents to an S3 bucket, and with CDN caching it was fast enough for many organizations. Instagram is still a mostly 100% client side SPA.
- nojvek 2y agoI’m probably going to die on the hill of building either: 1. SPA with html css and a bunch of js hosted on cdn, talking to pure REST api. (For apps behind login) 2. Php style Server rendered pages with a sprinkle of inline jquery-ish JS. (For websites) Hybrid of both of them is a Frankenstein monster I ain’t touching.
