Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see it as a reflection of the website's overall design stance: no frills, no stupid material design, no js junk scripts. Just a fast-loading website that loads what it needs to. This kind of website is quite refreshing in 2018. Maybe one day it will have a tiny amount of JS, but let's cross that bridge when it comes. That's still better than the vast majority of modern websites built today.

It does already have some JS. On the builds page, when it is running a build, it refreshes every second to show new output.

This is accomplished without JavaScript.

All features work without JavaScript I'm not sure why this is a selling point. Yes, there are many upsides to this, particularly from the maintainer's standpoint, but I think it might just be a side-benefit that only certain users really care about. Eventually, there might be advantages to removing that "feature", and you might turn off users who joined largely because of it.

I like this design decision. I can't talk for other people, but if a page looks good on a text based browser, I consider it to be well designed page (although I don't force the converse).

The way I understand it, the only real reason why there is something like javascript at all is that one wants to improve latency / computing load on servers. But since javascript is already here, it is now easy to abuse it instead by cluttering all kinds of junk and computing to the page and to the browser / client.

Having an OAuth error. I'll check back later because maybe you're messing around with it at the moment. Cool project.

I was about to say the same. I'm able to login at meta but not the others. Admittedly I haven't paid yet so I thought that might have been the culprit.

This looks really nice and it's working incredibly quick for me. I have a couple of maybe stupid question.. I'm having trouble understanding the workflow. When I open something like https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/ This is the issue page for a user, right? And then when I go to https://todo.sr.ht/%7Esircmpwn/sr.ht (oh, the tilde copy-and-pastes weird into the comment window.. not sure what that's about) This is the "iss…

>Also when I open up the 'tree' section, each line starts with file permissions in the style of 'ls -la'. Is this b/c the system is fundamentally tied to POSIX? (I've used git with no problem on Windows before - so I don't see why it would be)

Because the file mode is stored in git. The tree view is a representation of the git tree, and the mode is a property stored in the tree.

Have you considered adding a docker image repository similar to Dockerhub to the ecosystem? Alternatively, have you considered contacting the folks at dockerhub and request integration similar to GitHub [1]? [1] https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/github/

This was discussed here: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CFA9122A8-8BD1...
