It’s typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no? I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.
minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYes, it’s largely for SPAs, but you said “requires killing the web app”, and most web apps are SPAs.
