An 'isomorphic' approach would really help with that first page load time. Here's one I built with isomorphic React: http://hackernewsmobile.com/

I agree. Server side rendering is not currently available for Angular 2.0 but it is in the queue: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q6g9UlmEZDXgrkY88AJZ6MUr...


You throw the term 'isomorphic' around a bunch in the descriptions of this project. It would be nice if the README explained what that meant. I know what an isomorphism is, but have no idea what this means in this context.


They use the term isomorphic to mean that it is written in one language throughout the app. Typically, JS on the front and back end.

They really should be saying something like isoglossic (not a Greek scholar here) to imply that it's in the same language, instead of isomorphic, which implies a lot more than what they intend.


If you google 'isomorphic Javascript' you'll get a bunch of hits explaining this particular (ab)use of the word, here's a good one: http://nerds.airbnb.com/isomorphic-javascript-future-web-app...
