#62Sorry, but I am going to comment on a technical implementation rather than the content of a site. The site shows blank page without JS enabled. I did not understand why one would need one megabyte of minified Javascript to display a list of 10 items. Probably it is because the developers were too busy learning trendy JS frameworks and do not know about HTML and server side page generation (in PHP this could be done m…
That meta configuration looks like ember.js
I looked at Ember documentation and saw a tutorial on building a rental site [1] that could be easily implemented without Ember. They should have chosen a better example that would show clear benefints from using complicated JS framework otherwise it just looks like over-engineered solution for a simple problem.
Also Ember documentation doesn't give any reasoning why (or when) one should or should not use their framework. But they have a mustache on a front page.

#64Should this be considered Fucked Company 2.0, nine years after the original site closed? Edit: The original name was apparently also a pun (Fast Company).

It's probably because you opted to disable one of the essential web technologies in your browser. Plenty of websites are written as SPAs nowadays. This is like complaining that pages are black on white because you disabled CSS. Or that you can't see websites at all because you uninstalled your browser.

This is why computers become slower and slower, and people have to upgrade. Because lazy developers make idiotic choices.
It's a static list of items. Hardly very efficient to load all that javascript, do a server request, just to display a list is it.

#67Adding moderation, would be a really good addition. Right now, there are lot of junk descriptions posted over there.

Perhaps we should be going back to writing websites in assembly.
