been reading about hypermedia systems after a friend sent me the linked book, realised how much I agree with the stuff they say.

I was ranting about how annoying single-page applications that don’t have unique urls for subpages are, how you can’t middle click to open new tabs, etc. not three days ago. I hope I never end up making anything like that, lmao. you should be able to bookmark any page of content and get back to more or less the same page by entering that same URL, this is quite literally part of what the internet was founded on

now obviously the book goes a LOT more in-depth than I’m saying here and actually provides a solution, but it’s just funny to me how much of an issue SPAs are when used in places they shouldn’t be. Like help pages for example, cough cough. like PLEASE let me link help pages directly.

also apologies about the textwall but I need to blogpost once in a while
