AMP
« on: April 28, 2017, 12:01:34 PM »
There was a brief sidebar discussion of AMP at Wilmington.  I don't know much about it but just ran across this generally negative thread in HN.

Which points to this:

https://www.ampproject.org/


So it's a framework like bootstrap?

More like a set of rules. The aim is to make pages extremely fast-loading. Unfortunately, conforming is a PIA for developers of complex sites.

They acknowledge this directly. "User Experience > Developer Experience > Ease of Implementation"
"When in doubt, do what’s best for the end user experience, even if it means that it’s harder for the page creator to build or for the library developer to implement."

AMP may be the next "Mobile Friendly" for the Google algorithm. IMHO.

It's like a style sheet option. Or and adaptive page. 

I think you would be nuts not to try them out.

I find it best to think of AMP in two parts.

1) AMP is a subset for HTML that is build with speed in mind. You can't do everything, but what you can do is fast
2) AMP allow for use of AMP caches. Services like Google, twitter and Pinterest will keep a cached version of your AMP page that they can serve to their users "instantly" (ie, they preload)

Tis fast. I'm starting to see a few sites developed "AMP first" rather than having a separate AMP version.  Not much adoption outside of CMSs with premade AMP themes though.

They are pushing AMP / mobile.

Fairly easy to do.

You can point the visitors to the main pages.

Although now you can do iframe and some JS
