I 100% agree with the author. In fact, it is what I started with a year ago when I needed to develop a simple dashboard. And guess what? - I ended up with building my own small ssr/isomorphic stack... I could just use Next.JS or something similar. However, now I don't regret this decision, because when you building your own tools you know what approach would make you more productive. As a result my productivity increased at least by half after I built my own tools.

I suggest to add Turbolinks, it improves routing in SSR applications. For SPA-like experience there is WebWorker and CacheAPI. with them, it is possible to provide SPA user experience in SSR applications.

I really need to dive into WebWorkers tbh. Thanks for the tip.
