I’ve been developing web applications using Rails since transitioning from PHP a few years back. Recently, there’s a trend towards utilizing Rails purely as a RESTful backend while implementing frameworks like Backbone.js for the front end. What are your thoughts on this approach? Do you think it’s likely to become a standard practice? Also, are there other frontend frameworks worth considering alongside Backbone.js? Given that I plan to support both desktop and mobile versions of my application, would adopting this method be appropriate? Essentially, I would manage a single backend service with multiple frontend solutions, eliminating the need to handle all views within Rails directly. I appreciate your insights!
hey, have you considered how using separate frontend & backend layers impacts performance or maintenence? while backbone.js is cool, i’m curious about frameworks like Vue.js or even Angular. do they offer better scalability for mobile and desktop? super keen to hear more on your exploration and the challenges you might face!
