Currently dealing with a situation where a SPA app doesn't work with FB Sharing, because it exepects a set of META/Open Graph tags. So now we are going back to rendering a portion of the HTML on the server to support this. In JIRA, if I hit enter in the wrong field, it does a post out to somewhere and returns me a weird xml page and I lose my work. SPA apps are like building a browser, in a browser, and on the server…
JIRA is a case study in bad UI/UX and web anti-patterns, IMHO. I think my team at work is finally ready to ditch it in favor of basically anything else.

#245> In my experience server-side generated templates lightly sprinkled with “progressive enhancement”-style JavaScript are still the best way to do that. Those apps are easier to develop, tend to be faster, tend to have fewer bugs, and your laptop’s fan won’t wake the neighbours. Thanks for that part. Really. A heartfelt thank you. Every time I see another "hey, I only want to show you text, but for some reason I thoug…
Of course I agree that if you’re only showing text with a few interactive enhancements, you can probably get away with jquery. The trouble is that too often a few enhancements turns into a few more enhancements, then a lot of enhancements, and then you end up with a huge mess of jquery spaghetti. It quickly becomes comical to claim that jquery would result in fewer bugs than pretty much any post-backbone UI library o…

#246I'm a bit sceptical about this article... I understand the point... jQuery is a nice place to get started for beginners and see how things have been done in the past and I also HATE the boilerplate with most modern JavaScript-Frameworks, but > I want to build webpages that are fast I don't think that jQuery is fast... Especially the fact, that jQuery hooks in every event handler to control the possibility to remove a…
If that is slowing down your app, something was done wrong.
