it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.
I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).
ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work
Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
They stopped Hezbollah from entering Syria, thus speeding up the crumble, but it was clear that without Russian air support the government falling was only a matter of time.
If you were to check out the changes on ground from 2012 to 2014 you’d see that Iranian intervention didn’t change much, but right after 2015 (Beginning of Russian intervention) the revolution actually starts losing ground and fragmenting. Even the late Daraa insurgencies, where the government needed ground troops (The whole purpose of Iran’s existence in Syria) was handled by Russian troops. LOL
So, yeah: Hezbollah by itself may have delayed the Homs takeover, but I can’t think of many things that would’ve changed (maybe another massacre or two, but then what?)
Also, Israel just waited until the rebels took over and then magically knew where each piece of heavy military equipment was located and destroyed it all within like three weeks…
