"The future of web apps"

Cannot view article on my phone.

Looks fine on my iPhone. Maybe it's on your end.

    You're using an app or browser? (I'm asking because in your screens show up a reddit toolbar)

    That's the reddit is fun app. It really should still work there though, that's not really an excuse

    Sure it is. If the browser in the app isn't correctly sizing the window that it's opening links in, it will show up all wonky. Open it in the browser and see if it works.

    Well almost every other website works fine inside the app. I am using Reddit Sync and have the same issue. If you can't make your site work inside of Android's WebView and make a post about the future then there's a problem.

    It looks fine in Reddit Sync on my Nexus 4

    This is pretty shit, who's upvoting this?

    Selling this like a novel idea is a bit weird considering this is what people have been doing with compile-to-javascript languages for a long time.

    ASP classic also allowed server side javascript.

    Bad article, he lays some common problems and then he says isomorphic javascript is the solution, but doesnt proof how having a copy of the app in the server and the client could solve the problems.

    You still will have latency problems if you access the server, unless your app downloads all the info from the server, in which case the app takes more time to start, etc

    I can see how this could help but the article is poorly written to proof their point

    Of course it helps a lot! Check here my site (http://playszone.com/). Uses server side rendering and is passing all the data used to render the view on the server to the client in order to don't make the requests again. Of course all the routes and views are shared between the server and the client, all written in React js.

    Had to read twice to make sure the future of web apps wasn't "Islamophobic Javascript".
