Really interesting podcast about Elder.js. It's neat to see that the framework pendulum is swinging back towards server-side, and "partial hydration" is the new must-have feature. changelog.com/jsparty/182

I think for content sites especially this design makes perfect sense. SPAs never went away, but I think we're collectively learning that they're more like the 20% usecase, not the default choice.

@nolan Along those lines I like the idea of Svelte, which is a node.js framework for server-side rendering that provides client-side SPA flow as an addition (rather than a requirement)

@nolan although I'd still just like. prefer people to make websites that are websites and not "apps"

@nolan ah and I see svelte is one of the topics of conversation on that podcast episode
