    If you have static content, then sure, serve up some SSR HTML. But pages with even static content usually have some form of interactivity, like searching (suggestions/auto-complete), etc. 🤷‍♂️

      Search is easier to implement without Javascript than with.

      <form method="GET" action="/search">
      <input name="q">
      <input type=submit>
      </form>

        Does that little snippet include suggestions, like I mentioned? Of course it’s easier with less functionality.

          Back in my day, we’d take that fully-functional form and do progressive enhancement to add that functionality on top with js. You know, back when we (or the people paying us) gave a fuck.
