This Podcast explores a Drupal module called Refreshless, which aims to enhance user experience by selectively updating parts of a webpage without a full refresh, creating an application-like feel. This module, initially created in 2016 and now maintained by Ambient Impact, uses JavaScript and the HTML5 history API to provide smooth transitions and persistent elements. While it previously saw higher adoption, the discussion touches on its current low reported usage and the potential reasons for this decline, such as the rise of headless Drupal setups. The video also highlights ongoing development, including a planned transition from the Turbo library to HTMX, and addresses practical considerations like accessibility and site structure compatibility.
