Don’t process on the main thread

Android looks down upon data upload and download on its main thread. It actively discourages it.

But due to poor programming habits I picked up along the way, I never translated that idea on to our web apps programming using PHP.

But now with this Eureka! Moment and running around naked for a while, I must apply this rule to web apps as well.

New Rule of my life: Do not request and get data on the main thread.

All great apps have this property in common. Why did I not comprehend this concept before?
