Hi there! I'm sort of second-guessing my decision to use ember for the landing page of my app.
I wanted to get some input from others on whether you use a statically generated page for your landing/marketing pages and ember for your apps or if you use ember for the whole thing. I've done the latter and here are the pros and cons I've noticed:
(for reference, my company site is https://vmpower.io)
PROS:
- Ember User data
- This is available on the landing page - I can check if the user is signed in and rather showing a 'Login' link I can use an ember {{link-to}} to move the user directly into the app.
- We use intercom and we can easily forward user data to intercom whenever someone known hits the landing page
- Consistent Design
- I can reuse some components used in the app on the landing page obviously
- Ease of use of APIs
- We can hit our apis using ember data
CONS:
- Load time
- Load times are longer than a static page because all the script needs to load
- SEO/Translation
- SEO only seems to pick up my meta tag information on my index.html and not on the body (even though google says it crawls AJAX sites the right way).
- Google translate can't translate my landing page
What are your thoughts? What do you end up doing for your landing page to integrate to the same api as your ember app?
