Have Single-Page Apps Ruined the Web? ('Transitional Apps')

Rich Harris delivers a comprehensive 19-minute discussion on website architecture, exploring the ongoing debate surrounding Single Page Applications (SPAs) and Multi-Page Applications (MPAs).

The SPA vs. MPA debate is a common one, though the term "MPA" itself is relatively new. Most developers likely hold balanced views on which architecture best suits their projects. However, the contrasting viewpoints offer valuable insights.

Interestingly, the industry trend moves beyond a simple SPA/MPA binary choice. Modern websites often integrate aspects of both. Frameworks like SvelteKit and Astro directly facilitate this hybrid approach, alongside technologies like Next.js 12 and server-rendered components. Many existing websites already demonstrate this hybrid model, often due to evolving technological needs over time.

The author appreciates the blend of innovative new technologies and the enduring value of established methods. The piece concludes with a recommendation to explore further discussions on this topic by Surma and Jake.
