>> Another often missed opportunity is building SPAs as offline-first.
You are going to get so many blank stares at many shops building web apps when suggesting things like this. This kind of consideration doesn't even enter into the minds of many developers in 2024. Few of the available resources in 2024 address it that well for developers coming up in the industry.
Back in the early-2000s, I recall these kinds of things being an active discussion point even with work placement students. Now that focus seems to have shifted to developer experience with less consideration on the user. Should developer experience ever weigh higher than user experience?
>Should developer experience ever weigh higher than user experience?
Developer experience is user experience. However, in a normative sense, I operate such that Developer suffering is preferable to user suffering to get any arbitrary task done.
The irony for me is that I got into React because I thought that we could finally move to an offline-first SPA application. Current trends seem to go the opposite.
