"The site is so remote that, after a two-hour drive from San José del Guaviare, a team of archaeologists and film-makers trekked on foot for around four hours." So...not remote at all? This is less remote than the typical national

Those that do try to apply this asshole logic outside this highly specific context, make 2 very painful mistakes. One, whatever you do, isn't memorable, and has no glory. 90s Chicago Bulls took the world by storm. Jordan is perceived a

The funny thing is that a single module inclusion in a traditional link based website will deliver all of this predictive preloading for you. One line of code. Which debunks one of the critical advantages of an SPA. The other is transitions

"Only programmers look at it and say "yea, that's fine," because we know how difficult a web browser is to implement." No, not just programmers. Also end users. It's a complete myth that the traditional link&#x

No they are not. Well, first of all, most SPAs don't actually deliver on this promise anyway. But let's look into the point made by the author regarding the inspiring example of Apple's app store UX, and trying to aim for tha

Even the word "prefer" is questionable. The typical consumer gets an Android phone which comes with pre installed apps. Should they somehow still by choice end up at a web property, they are aggressively pulled towards the native

Such a poor take. Consumers mass spending time in chat and Netflix doesn't mean the web is dying. Consumers hate apps. The average they install per month is zero. 90% of their installed apps are completely unused. Almost any new app th

I love this question, in another comment I call it the Fermi paradox of SPAs. Where are they? The simple question as to where are all these inspiring SPAs that truly push the web to next levels...is completely unanswered. We get docs sites,

Sure, but timelines are different. Angular becomes a front-end COBOL in just a few years, not 3 or 4 decades. There's more. A typical front-end architecture depends on a complex interwoven tool chain with a lifespan of at best years, s

No, it's not ridiculous, it's sane. The whole point of a SPA is to give a user a better experience. If on average this does not materialize in the real world, and often achieves the exact opposite, the entire concept fails. Bad

Another angle I'd like to add to this discussion is something that gets near zero attention: longevity. Many SPA developers rapidly move from project to project. Every once in a while, they learn yet another JS framework, and then hop

Like most deep in the SPA bubble, this author cannot imagine any other outcome than SPA-everything. Meanwhile, any alternative view is put aside as being an anti-JS crusader (which misses the point entirely), simply being old, or even barba

From the article: "As consumers and end-users of software, our expectations are continually rising." A very agreeable statement, but no they're not. Expectations are that your service works, makes sense, is easy to use. This
