    it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

    this is personal preference but the ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

      I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

      Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
