So, the OP is adverse to the JavaScript single page app fad, because in his opinion it is overly complicated to try to get a web app to behave like a native app, and instead should embrace its "weby-ness"? Is he just thinking about developers who have to use the tools he does not like, or the consumer experience side of it too?
- KaiserPro 11y agoSingle page apps are in my experience a massive faff. They may look good, but they tend to break things like back/forwards have text that can't be copied and pasted. Some have embedded video, which eats everything.
- ianstallings 11y agoThis logic is flawed. Disabling back/forwards, copy/paste. and embedding video has nothing to so with a website being a single page app.
- aliakhtar 11y ago> they tend to break things like back/forwards That's not a requirement for building a single page app, there have been ways of emulating history in spas for a while now. > have text that can't be copied and pasted What do you mean? SI'm not aware of any sites whose text 'can't' be copied unless they disabled right clicking.
