Well, I don't know about the API, but that's certainly the worst blog software ever made, requiring me to enable JavaScript and execute code in order to read some simple HTML and CSS. Why‽

Reading his site on an iPhone is nearly impossible.

Push that button in the uri area that has a bunch of horizontal lines

Perhaps consider that coming on here and being condescending about the impact your own browsing habits have on the web experience of your (very small, but very vocal) JavaScript-disabling demographic makes the rest of us web developers really not very interested in building sites that meet your demands. I agree that the site shouldn't need JavaScript to function, but I don't think comments like these help the goal of…

Constructive criticism is a good thing.

People still disable JS in 2016? I take it that 80%+ of the web is horribly broken for you guys.

OP is a bit excessive but he's right --- this website doesn't work for people without JavaScript or on mobile phones.

Yeah, it is — but it's better to have to enable JavaScript on a one-by-one basis when desired that to travel across the Internet executing random code and impairing one's privacy.

Some websites require JavaScript to display images nowadays. What's wrong with ? Others require JavaScript to use the correct font. What's wrong with CSS? Still others require JavaScript to show text. What's wrong with HTML? Still others require JavaScript to build links. What's wrong with ?

JavaScript is destroying the Web. What was a powerful technology for disseminating formatted text across the world has become a cobbled-together GUI held together with baling wire and twine.

Yes. This, however, isn't it.

It is just off by default. That doesn't mean we can't enable it.

Most of the time you enable only the domain of the url. If you really need to and you trust the page, you enable everything, including the trackers, which are blocked by other means anyway.

Horribly broken for everybody. Blocking scripts just allows us to see that it doesn't degrade gracefully, either.

Quite the opposite actually, it's a much better experience. I avoid many of the annoyances one can encounter on a daily basis.

Most of us are likely not outright disabling, we're white-listing, it's a big difference and IMHO the best way to browse.

It's an approach that basically considers the user experience on all websites to be hostile until you decide to grant them some trust. Given that many websites do implement hostile user experiences, it works out perfect.

A blog is a collection of documents and there's no reason to require JavaScript just to view them, the web was specifically designed for displaying documents.
