Ask HN: Best JavaScript Single Page Apps

Facebook, Twitter, Asana. Interestingly, each developed their own JavaScript libraries/frameworks - React, Flight, and Luna (Luna is not open-source).

Others: Google Maps.

I don't find Gmail to be a particularly good example, unfortunately.

Thanks for the examples with frameworks. Still looking for more good corporate sites with Angular or the likes...

Two salient examples of Angular include: Amazon's AWS dev console (not the best example of Angular, but the only public use by a large corp I know of), and Lift's web app (lift.do).

I also know that Apple uses Angular for a few internal (non-public) developer tools/consoles.

Angular is a framework, heavier than the other frameworks too. Twitter and Facebook are particularly good examples because they use both server and client-side rendering, so they get the best of both worlds (fast initial page render and fast subsequent client renders). I love Angular, but Angular can't do this currently.

AWS dev console? I can only find the mgmt. console and it looks not like angular - do you have an url?

http://www.nasa.gov/ uses angular as well bit it's a bit media heavy why i consider it only a mediocre example.

With angular you can include server side produced html as well? Or how are React and Flight better regarding that aspect?
