@mamund @stilkov pjax or turbolinks can essentially make a SPA for HTML, can't it?

@stephen_mizell @mamund Sort of, although I’d argue it’s no longer an SPA if you do that :-)
1
@stilkov @mamund haha, maybe so. With pjax, you are always on the same (single) page, just changing a particular element from ajax request.

@stephen_mizell @mamund Sure, but it’s entirely possible to follow the link to do a page refresh when JS isn’t available or active.

@stilkov project: create hypermedia-type polyfills for browser. long run limited value, but imp. for learning/illustration @stephen_mizell

@mamund Emulating a frames-based site with AJAX + pushState would be a simple demo. youtube.com/watch?v=LC45G7zs… @stilkov @Stephen_Mizell

@Meekostuff right. the topic started, however, about SPAs and hypermedia APIs, not frames/no-frames, etc. @stilkov @Stephen_Mizell

@mamund @stilkov @Stephen_Mizell Right. And a frameset site is a SPA that uses a hypermedia API.
1
@Meekostuff LOL!, yes. any frameset can host server responses in HAL, Collection+JSON, JSON-API, Mason, HAN, etc. @stilkov @Stephen_Mizell

@mamund ... and if one of the supported h-media is HTML then you've got a roca-style web-site for free. @stilkov @Stephen_Mizell

@Meekostuff @mamund @Stephen_Mizell yes, possible, but you’d have to make sure it still works if JS is disabled.

@stilkov Of course. If it isn't usable in the browser with JS disabled then it isn't a HTML-payload hypermedia-API. @mamund @Stephen_Mizell
