Making stuff as a founder of Avocado. Former music-maker. Tuna melt advocate. Started Google Reader. (But smarter people made it great.)

Our web application broke the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons in browsers. It shouldn't have.

I had to write the following today:

Changing our current navigation method would bring the user experience in line with everyday web interaction where moving "back" and "forward" means retrieving an exact snapshot of the page in the stack. And where "refresh" will commit the same request as occurred at the recorded visit. And where no interceptive errors or pop-ups are generated in performing these common tasks.
Translation: Our web application broke the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons in browsers. It shouldn't have.
