Replying to a tweet from @JoubranJad

But if you agree it’s not the only way, why did you describe it as a prerequisite?

Because there’s 2 aspects in an app shell: 1- Layout & design 2- Rendering what’s above the fold asap (prioritizing those assets) For 1) there’s multiple ways to do that (for example the one you did, and so many other designs) For 2) I think this is a prerequisite

Totally agree that getting something on the screen as quickly as possible is a prerequisite …but an app shell is not the only way to do that. Conflating the two is confusing. adactio.com/notes/15916

Is App Shell a prerequisite to rendering what’s above the fold asap? I think there are other ways for that. It has eg. been highlighted in some previous talks how streamed parsing of HTML is often faster than AJAX-loaded HTML where the full response is needed before parsing.

It’s a bit out of context of the talk The talk is about native like PWAs, and because most native apps have app shells, then it’s a prerequisite for “native like PWAs” (not a prerequisite for any pwa)
