JS cannot access your files, your browser certainly protects you against cryptomining...
JS is not always eye candy, there are many things that cannot be done with forms alone. If you want a terrible web experience, feel free, but it's not the devs' job to write an exposé to explain why they had to use JS.

You can build what you want. Xavier says this on his site:
My name is Xavier Salazar (he/him), and I love emoji. I currently work full-time at @slackhq and work remotely from Portland, OR I spend more time than my manager knows creating and perfecting the silliest little ideas for the internet. I've been able to cover the costs of these projects by myself, but, at the end of the day, they are not free. Supporting me, even only for a couple dollars, goes a long way in making sure I can continue to create and support these projects.
looking more into this i guess it's called emoji kitchen by google and there's over 20,000 combinations, its crazy using this tool and seeing how specific they can get, they're not lazily copy pasted either, need a hedgehog wearing headphones? google got you covered i guess

It's really tiresome reading all the crying from no-JS snobs in a world when you cannot use most websites without JS. Move on or turn on JS.

> why don’t devs put in the minimal effort You can build what you want. Xavier says this on his site: My name is Xavier Salazar (he/him), and I love emoji.

You left out the noscript part. I’m not implying the project as a whole is minimal effort.
It would be nice to at least see a small explanation of what I as a user am missing out (one or two sentences), or the bare minimum is to at least name the application in the noscript instead of leaving the default text of create-react-app (or similar project generator). It could be as minimal as adding the name and repeating the meta description.
Emoji Kitchen requires enabling JavaScript to run
Unique illustrations of combined emoji, cooked up in Google’s Emoji Kitchen, and comprehensively available on the web.

Of all things to worry about when designing a website, the basically-zero percentage of people who voluntarily disable JS doesn't even make the list. I view the noscript tag more along the lines of "Hey, your browser isn't working" than "Here's a sales pitch for my site for you and the 2 other people who disabled Javascript".
I wonder if we can fine tune a language model using this and then get infinite emoji mixes… Could be a fun weekend project. If SVG of those icons exists somewhere it’s possible to find tune GPT with it too

Serious question, could you explain why you disable JS in 2023? JS cannot access your files, your browser certainly protects you against cryptomining... JS is not always eye candy, there are many things that cannot be done with forms alone.

Not everyone wants to download and execute programs from the internet every time they visit a site.
Note: the ‘web’ is comprised of both web pages & applications where web applications obviously need JavaScript, but web pages are better served with JavaScript as an enhancement. In the post here, we have a web app, but there’s nothing that tells me what it is and with so many sites running these project generator defaults of “You need to enable JavaScript to run this app”, it’s impossible to tell if this is an trustworthy application, malicious, or another SPA that should have just been static content.
