Not very convincing.

React was introduced in 2013 and angular 2 was created in 2015.

The only server side rendering I'll be doing in the future is with the likes of nextjs or similar.

Yeah, I start with an SPA and adapt to the use-case. It either needs to be a SPA, or SPA -> SSR is easy (via Gatsby/Next.js). The other direction though, seeing projects grow from SSR -> interactivity/SPA is usually a horrifying display of highly-coupled code spaghettification.

Aha, by mistake you corrected your grammar! HNers cargo cult everything, including grammatical mistakes like "an SPA" ( see literally everywhere in this thread). Just say it out loud, "I start with an SPA", does that roll off the tongue? No, neither does, "I'm going to buy an sailboat". However, "It either needs to be a SPA, ..." is totally natural.

While this comment may not seem on topic/useful, it's a useful meta comment -- please don't take offense.

SPA isn't pronounced "spa" but S-P-A thus an SPA is more likely correct. See "an FBI agent" for an example.

Hah, the relief! That was driving me crazy, thank you for clarifying the usage. I've only seen it written and blindly assumed "spa", not S-P-A.

Now I can read SPA posts without cringing...

Lol keep in mind I could be completely wrong! It seems like there isn't a definitive rule. :(

No, it makes sense, although as you say there's no rule, so some will use "SPA" and others "S-P-A".

I'm reading it as "an S-P-A" now and it feels so, so much better :)
