Huge +: It works without Javascript!

Moderate -: It is not responsive, on a small screen the HUGE sidebar and top header leave no space for the message.

edit:

Actually threaded message threads do not work without JS. All messages are collapsed. With JS enabled I seem to have to click on each message to expand it which is terrible UI.

From the release notes:

Known bugs and limitations

    User Experience
        The HTML user-interface is "read only" unless Javascript is enabled

It's an alpha release, an MVP. Of course it's not going to be perfect on this type of stuff.

Great news. Glad to see my donation being put to good use. I last installed this back when it first got some traction but interface wise there was almost nothing there. Even still it was showing good promise with what it could do.

Seeing it now it's evident that a lot of work has been going on. Kudos to the team, their dedication really shows.
