Thoughts about JavaScript

Stefan Wintermeyer edited this page Feb 24, 2019 · 1 revision

vutuv has always been a very fast web application. We achieved this by using a very fast backend (Phoenix Framework), highly optimized HTML and CSS, best compression available (Brotli) and by not using JavaScript at all.

The result of the first version of vutuv was stunningly fast but in all honesty a bit dull GUI wise. So with version 2.0 I'd like to losen up the JavaScript shackles a bit. Yes, in version 2.0 JavaScript can be used. But always be careful. Even "just two lines of JavaScript" will decrease the WebPerformance quite a bit.

Bottom line: JavaScript is no longer a no go but please consult with Stefan Wintermeyer before including it.
