Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

One thing I have grown to dislike about having a single page app is
browser caching. I make changes to the files used for content within the
single page app, but I often have to clear my browser cache for the changes
to show up.

Add this to the fact that users cannot add particular "pages" to their
browser favorites. A favorites link always takes the user to the home page.

I'm guessing there are methods for getting around these issues. If this
were going to be a large website that a business had to spend money to
maintain, or a website used by tons of people where maximum performance was
a necessity, then I would probably do more research to resolve the above
issues. I definitely see the maintenance and performance benefits of single
page apps.

But this is just a hobby site and unlikely to be used by many people. I
don't mind spending time on it because, well, that's what hobbies are
for...spending time. So I'm going back to making it a traditional web site
with multiple HMTL files.

The link http://www.socialhope.info/code/SocialHope_REBOOT.zip will
continue to have the source code for the single page app version of the
website, for those who find this thread in a search or simply want to
download the code later.
