(Slightly tangential) does anyone else predict and hope for a looser coupling between client and server?<p>Even in the age of increased connectivity, an app or static client experience, rather than streaming (except for obvious cases like video and music), in my mind would greatly improve the web for the user. Especially if not every user action can be tracked with an AJAX request.<p>I&#x27;ve only started looking into building apps offline-first (late to the party) but with tech like CouchDB, service workers etc - it&#x27;s becoming much easier to build a more decentralized online experience (and interestingly return to an earlier epoch).
