Re:JavaScript hydration is a workaround, not a solution by waboremo on Thursday September 01, 2022 @11:01AM (#32677298)
Do you have any proposed solutions for the problems that exist? Going back to fundamentals doesn't eradicate the problems, it will only recreate them in a slightly altered state.

One of the most commonly proposed solutions is we keep the web to only static content. Well now we've just shifted all the media-heavy interactive content onto a dedicated app instead of the browser, shifting all the same exact problems onto a new platform instead.

And then they complain because "This could have just been a PWA, why do I have to install an app for every website I use!?"
