alt Hacker NewsI can't help feeling that if you're turning JS off, you might as well turn off your computer to protect your data.

This site actually works just fine without JS.

That's actually a fantastic idea!
Oh wait, no, I'm an e-addict. Drat! Curse this monkey!
As an experiment, I made a small retail shop (< 30 products) that would use JS for modern style async/await calls, but would then use old school POSTs if JS was disabled with full page reloads on every POST. it sucked to dev and as UX, but it was possible to do. Had the non-JS POST style updates been any less annoying, it might have been viable. Nobody likes full reloads. They suck. JS can do nice things for UX. It's just that we can't have nice things because people suck
