It's posts like these where I can feel the age of HN.

For many developers, especially in startups, SPAs are all they've ever known.

Now, I'm relatively young, but I'm old enough to know monolithic django before moving onto angular then onto react, and it is quite staggering what I'm capable of doing in SPAs as opposed to traditional web pages.

You mentioned Soundcloud and Youtube, but you'd be lying to yourself if you think the list comes even close to even stopping there.

How about fantasy drafts in DraftKings, Sleeper, or FanDuel?

How about chess like chess.com or lichess?

How about collab tools like Trello, Monday, or Asana?

I wouldn't even dream of building these types of applications in a traditional web app

The level of interactivity that is capable within SPAs makes applications like these seamless and snappy, and overall feel-good for the user.
