So besides the initial request, LiveView should be helping with the user experience, but the discussion is definitely more general.
@josevalim that’s of course if you are comparing server-side rendered templates served via standard HTTP requests. I think that’s valid, but another point of comparison is SPA, where latency doesn’t matter until you actually need to make a server round trip to save or load some data.
In LiveView you need roundtrips on each UI state change (if you live up to the promise of not writing JS code), that’s why latency is a bigger issue in LiveView comparing to standard React apps.
I’d love to hear what’s your angle on this, since that’s one of the biggest showstoppers for LiveView IMO.
