Re:Ask HN: Are there any solid arguments against SPAs in 2017? on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @12:42AM (#13315943)
For me, perfect example why not move to SPA in 2017 is Freshbooks, I'm their active user and found that their new version(introduced recently) is slow, initial load slow (very), transitions between tabs is slow etc. Personally I dont see the reason they moved to SPA (they using Ember framework which I heard very optimized in compare other frameworks(not libraries as React))

Re:Why You Shouldn't Use Twitter Bootstrap on Tuesday January 31, 2012 @11:21PM (#3536663)
Come on, what wrong with you guys? Author even removed his post. Who interested can find it in google cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sourceid=chrome... Are you all like these amature websites which looks like clones? Personally I will go away from site based on unchanged Bootstrap CSS. Bootstrap as product is good but people using it wrong, the big problem 95% not change default Bootstrap theme.

Yes, there are many opportunities for you as indie developer. first is app store ofcource, but please read first stories from iphonedevsdk.com/forum business section about 6 months development and more then $5000 spending and $100 profit at end. Second is flash games market, you can get up to $20k per game from sponsors if you are experienced game developer or about $500 if you are unknown. Third is android market, same as ios market but less money(successful game apps more ads oriented then apps in apple marketplace)
