Would like to read this, but I just get a blank page with Javascript disabled. Looks like I can't even archive the page - https://archive.fo/kLTbo . Looking at the page source code, it's completely unreadable - just a single line with a bunch of third party scripts and trackers. Disappointment over what the Web has become ensues.
That's really weird that the internet doesn't work with JavaScript disabled in 2019.
Not trying to downtalk, but it took you 11 years to pull this off? This is some massively slow growth :D

I'm curious how you managed to post a comment about it on HN with Javascript disabled. Is it even possible to post here without using Javascript? (Maybe it is, I dunno.)
It makes sense that it went to a pay model. Maybe I'll have another go at it.
That blog post is full of interesting links, though. Well worth reading through the whole thing.

I get your point in general regarding the internet, but I'm not clear at all on how Javascript would be required for any of the tasks in this website. 1. Show text content 2. Make the text content look good 3. Allow submission to a comment section All of those things can be accomplished with some or none javascript. Why make the job harder than necessary? Why screw over screenreaders? Oh, I see there's a graph there,…

I didn't see any feedback. Just a statement of questionable veracity that reads negatively, to me at least.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Given that many users here aren't native English speakers/writers, the tone that might seem obvious to you & I, might actually be completely inadvertent.

Does saying a website doesn't work with JS disabled count as flamebait? This feels like a flamewar to me.

I had the same experience as the parent in that I could not read anything unless I enabled a ton of files and once the content became readable it was stuttering all the time while scrolling. In 2019, on a beefy 8 core machine with 32GB of memory.
