Double clicking on the Mac dock should be idempotent.

Well, you can make a bad Mac app that makes this not true. But that’s really on you.

#12If the client-side solution is so simple, what's the problem? There are many things on the web where, if given a clean slate, it would be nice to change the default behavior. This doesn't seem to rise to the top of that list.

#13I've actually heard people verbally use the word "doubleclick" to mean explore. For example, someone in a meeting might mention some idea. Then my colleague would say "let's doubleclick on that for a minute".

#14The proposed solution (an HTML attribute to 'allow' double-click submissions of s) is backwards from how the standard would be updated. The proposal should instead be for an attribute that prevents double-clicks, because that way browsers that have not implemented it still behave correctly. Additionally, you don't "break userspace" for millions of forms online that no longer work as the developer intended. However, I…
And it used to be even better than that before React and JQuery.
`button` worked in the 90s.

I'm going to start using that in my meetings, alongside "drill down", "circle back", and "take it offline".

#17I'm certain that there's a lot of these issues that could be solved browser-side. Something for a breaking html6 maybe

#18Interestingly, the only persons I've ever seen doubleclicking in the web are from my parent generation (>60, >70 years old).
Also since 2015 the mobile adaption increased more and more. On mobile devices, the "double tap" concept never was very important, I think (at least not in the web context).
Therefore my feeling is that this issue is mostly a thing from the past.
Nevertheless I sometimes see forms which implement this "disable after submission" principle. Especially when it's about money, such as when booking a hotel or flight, etc.

#19If you want a better server-side solution, you could try employing mandatory idempotency tokens in the request payload. The concept is simple: either have the server give the client an idempotency token as part of the page load, or have the client request one at some point, or have it be something that can be generated on the client side (nonce style) and send it with the request. The server can then validate, using…
