Sam and Ryan chat about why frontend frameworks should make it easy for SPAs to replicate the behavior of a server-rendered web app. They also discuss various data-fetching scenarios, how a client-side app can stay in sync with the server's database, and share a few thoughts on module unification and dependency management.
