Twitter has become just like Facebook now, where if you click on something interesting and then press the back button everything will be fucking gone. this shit is horrendous and not how webbrowsers work. I don't know what apeshit thought of this but it needs to stop. The back button takes me back to where I was. not to new content.

    I think in the spa world the navigation should be handled by the website and not by the browser...I think so...I am not sure.

    @apollotonkosmo an spa should hook into the history API of the browser, such that the back button is still functional.

    They might be re rendering the component which leads to reload the data

    @jalebiBhai no no I get how it hapens. I'm just mad at why they decide to do it.

    @balte because the component dies, and it is re created again.

    @jalebiBhai i believe there's nothing much they can do here

    @jalebiBhai "nothing we can do" is a very boring approach to a technical problem. we're talking software: the sky is the fucking limit.

    @balte yes what you are talking about can be achieved. Like in the case of mobile application. like when you switch from feed to notifs and then back to feed, state remains same. But sometimes there are many things that you also need to consider. Like in order to do what you want, they will have to cache large bunch of data, which will result in performance. Also there is upper limit to how much data you can cache

    also say the new route paths display some image you posted. and you removed that image. Then if you go back, you will still see the image if the component is not re rendered

    You can create a game that is twice better than GTAV in vfx. But how many computers can handle that ?

    As someone who doesn't use Twitter and only Facebook for like once a month.. I can not relate to this problem. I hate how you have to login to view comments on a tweet unless you press at the top at the tweet. Then you don't have to login. Very odd.

    This is the main reason I quit Facebook two years ago, and whem it simply reloads the fucking content on your face like: "Ha Mother fucker, where you interested on that? How about fuck you hahaha"
