One thing I have grown to dislike about having a single page app is browser caching. I make changes to the files used for content within the single page app, but I often have to clear my browser cache for the changes to show up.
Add this to the fact that users cannot add particular "pages" to their browser favorites. A favorites link always takes the user to the home page.
I'm guessing there are methods for getting around these issues. If this were going to be a large website that a business had to spend money to maintain, or a website used by tons of people where maximum performance was a necessity, then I would probably do more research to resolve the above issues. I definitely see the maintenance and performance benefits of single page apps.
But this is just a hobby site and unlikely to be used by many people. I don't mind spending time on it because, well, that's what hobbies are for...spending time. So I'm going back to making it a traditional web site with multiple HMTL files.
