@mamund Would you consider building a larger project using that approach?

@darrel_miller and, as you already pointed out, my small SPAs would not be needed at all if the browser supported other hypermedia formats.

@mamund @darrel_miller Sounds as if you’re building a lot of little SPAs. Sort of makes them non-SPAs in my book :-)

@mamund @stilkov @darrel_miller Would you really say a browser is a "page" though?
1
@jon_moore love how you & @stilkov (nitter.vloup.ch/stilkov/status/6…) both focus on the "P" here. is that the real problem? "a page?" @darrel_miller
Replying to @mamund
@mamund @darrel_miller A single page app is retrieved from a single page. It’s like a WS-* “web” service running in the browser.

@mamund I guess I find your usage of the acronym confusing. @stilkov @darrel_miller
2
@jon_moore yep. once again, my view of the world seems to be a mismatch. wonder why that is<g>. @stilkov @darrel_miller

@mamund Let me ask this then: what insight do we get from considering the browser as a "single pane app"? @stilkov @darrel_miller

Replying to @darrel_miller
@darrel_miller @jon_moore @mamund I can agree, but that only enforces (in my view) that you shouldn’t replicate it. It’s already there.

@stilkov that sounds to me like saying "we already designed the perfect home, no need to design another" ;) @darrel_miller @jon_moore

@mamund @darrel_miller @jon_moore I don’t consider anything on the web “perfect”. Mostly good enough, though, and not worth working against.

@stilkov if i turn my browser-based SPA into a chrome-app. is it still an SPA? @darrel_miller @jon_moore
3
@mamund @darrel_miller @jon_moore Yes, in that an SPA is very much like a native application or a Silverlight or Flash app or Java Applet.
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov Agreed because you end up with a state machine inside a state machine and it makes my head hurt /cc @jon_moore @mamund
