Here sucks is in the sense of suckless philosophy, I don’t think everybody likes the suckless movement but I’ve seen that many people, me included, don’t like how modern web apps look like (messenger and tiktok are like the worst). So if I want to make interactive web apps, what are the better technologies to not make the web shittier ?
Hear me out: PHP
Isn’t that for backend development ? Like managing the database
While Javascript is for the interactive aspect of a web page, like animation when you do stuff
I used to think they are tools for separate jobs
It’s true that PHP is not for animation and indeed requires a server request for every interaction, but many web apps would be better if they were more server-side-oriented.
