if the backend is done correctly it is not a problem at all , an app should be able to degrade gracefully when javascript is deactivated. if not then it useless to bring the issue of SEO, SEO is not something to be thought about after the app development.
- calpaterson 14y agoI think you're misunderstanding what a single page app is. If a single page app is degrading gracefully when Javascript is turned off then it is probably not a single page app.
- biscarch 14y agoWhat is your definition of single page app?
- calpaterson 14y agoA web app where this is just one HTML file but the JavaScript gives it the feeling of being a whole site (client side template rendering, etc). I think in essense a single page app is one where there is no server side temp laying.
- biscarch 14y agoWhat do you think of the single page app you've described with multiple html entry points? Say / responds with the homepage as per usual and /feed responds with a different html start point, but the same application code. Using this technique you could create a site that responds to multiple urls with html and at the same time creates a SPA experience using a single js application (say, with backbone for example).
- calpaterson 14y agoIt's really the Rolls-Royce solution by which I mean it's a better but a lot more work. I didn't have that amount of time to commit. :)
