Comment on Hacker News written with Angular 2.0

Comments

To people who are complaining that this is slow, please understand that

1. Doesn't have to do with Angular 2. Doesn't even have to do with a single page implementation

I made a really shit take on a single page reddit client, and I'm sure you'll see that the browsing experience is actually quite nice (and much faster than using native reddit). This was written in Angular 1.3, and Angular 2.0 is MUCH faster.

My point is that implemented correctly, even a content site like reddit or hackernews could work quite well with a single-page implementation. Don't blame Angular for this demo, its server responses are just impossibly slow

If author see result is slow and reason is not ng2, then don't publish it. Otherwise everybody will think ng2 is slow and in next article with click-catching-title this example will be taken as proof of some "sensational" statement. Nobody will read explanations - people more trust own feelings than explanations.
