“The smoothness of a web application is an anti-indicator of its reliability and predictability as a web page.”

Native Apps are just expensive SPAs

@heydon on SPAs (not spas):

“SPAs replace the bad user experience of having to wait a second or two for 20KBs of HTML to be sent to your browser from a server with the good user experience of waiting several seconds for the server to send a 300KB JavaScript bundle, used to render HTML from scratch.”

Really love the new #wouter version. Got to test nested routes for the first time today. #React #SinglePageApplication https://github.com/molefrog/wouter/releases/tag/v3.0.0-rc.2

React is the death of web development. This is an example from the Azure ML Portal, where a table is marked up as an infinite amount of <div> elements instead of as a <table>.

The only excuse for this would be if the <div> soup was responsive and had break-points for small screens. It doesn't. It's as static as it would have been had it been semantically marked up with <table>.

Please stop.

A #NewToMe article by Alex Russell (@slightlyoff) points out that websites are still way too bloated to reach 75 percent of global viewers. A page load on a cold cache shouldn't exceed 500 KiB, or people using older budget mobile devices won't be able to view your page in 5 seconds. Modern script-heavy #SinglePageApplication #FrontEnd frameworks are boat anchors compared to good old #ProgressiveEnhancement.

I'm agreeing with most of it, except that Alex's suggested split of 350 KiB of #JavaScript and 150 KiB of everything else (#HTML, #CSS, and images) sounds backwards to me.
