Hi,
I submitted a proposal to W3C & WHATWG to enhance HTML to support single-page
apps without using Javascript:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2015Mar/0071.html
And here’s a document on Github that’s clearer than that email:
https://github.com/mozumder/html6
This proposal somehow went viral:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2901436/internet/faster-web-page-loading-without-javascript.html
(includes an analyst quote)
http://sdtimes.com/w3c-member-proposes-single-page-apps-without-javascript-in-html6/
(been a top trending story for the last week)
http://blog.smartbear.com/web-development/html6-apis-as-natural-friends/
http://jaxenter.com/html6-proposal-for-single-page-apps-without-javascript-causes-scandal-115919.html
and lots more, in different languages around the world. If you search “html6”
on Twitter, you’ll see. There are hundreds or thousands of shares, upvotes,
comments, etc.
So it looks like a lot of people want something like this to happen. I believe
it represents web developers’ dissatisfaction in having to use these Javascript
frameworks to do something basic that should have been a part of the HTML spec,
that is, dynamic loading of content. I put this proposal out there as a result
of my own frustrations with these frameworks being constantly redesigned.
I’m checking if there’s any interest from the Webkit team on this? I’m trying
to plan the next steps and probably wouldn’t proceed without at least some sort
of interest or guidance from the browser vendors. (maybe this is technically
impossible, etc..) Next steps would probably include working on a full spec,
and possibly implementation. I have built WebKit nightly before, but haven’t
modified any of its code, and I suspect something like this would be way beyond
me time-wise to fully implement myself, but if there’s interest, I could
possibly figure out some options.
Anyways do let me know of any interest.
