A list of interactions that could benefit from having a smart frontend framework

Discussion on whether and how adding a javascript framework to core would be beneficial has been in relatively broad terms. But the goal is not to add a javascript framework to core. The goal is to make Drupal easier and more pleasant to use. Adding a javascript framework *can* be a *tactic* towards achieving that goal.

We need to play around. Get some hands-on experience to see if the strategy of using a framework can get us to the goal faster, better.

So why not find some core interactions that particularly suffer from “each click is a roundtrip to the server” syndrome and come up with fun experiments on how those could be improved. And learn from that.

This would also give us examples for more UX designers to work on in a light weight manner.

This issue is just for collecting examples. I am curious to see what you can come up with. We can figure out the How part of this later, this is about the What.

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
