Sibling comments mentioned some approaches already but just FYI, Hacker News is built on Arc, a custom-made Lisp dialect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_(programming_language)
I thought Arc was only for backend? Or does it render HTML as well?

It's not app's cache I believe, but rather app's data. I think they're different? It's indeed 39MB on Play Store, but after I installed it and used it for a month, it's using 1GB+ storage on my phone (after I deleted app's cache).
Ha, I hate it when apps do that. One of the main reason I got rid of Spotify and my Spotify paid subscription was because their android app gobbled all the free space it could find on a device by filling it with caches music. “Of course Spotify, I pay extra for more storage on me device so you can use it to cache songs and save a few cents on bandwidth, you’re very welcome.”

The irony of complaining about one echo chamber and enjoying living in the 'no javascript' bubble is astounding. Can you use text-only websites for most use cases? Sure. Are people more likely to pay for your product if your website has client-sided interactivity and doesn't look awful? Absolutely. I really don't get this complain and I've only seen it from developers. Certainly not company owners for pay for server/…
Are you sure it's not just that developers understand how the web works and know there's an alternative? Most normies have no clue what JavaScript is

Another way is to use the checkbox-and-CSS trick. You add a hidden checkbox next to the element you want to hide, add a label to trigger the checkbox, and then use a + selector to toggle the visibility based on the state of the checkbox. Like this: Toggle spoiler Spoilery stuff goes here #spoiler, #spoilerContent{display: none;} #spoiler:checked+#spoilerContent{display: block;} You can also use a variation of this fo…
Yes. But I believe details / summary is considered more accessible. Since its in the spec it's something AT has or is working towards.
But if it's more accessible depends on the target user. If you're target are IE users or users with very old browser versions, for one reason or another, more accessible would be to use the CSS toggle trick. But if indeed your target user are users using screenreaders and using recent browsers, then details and summary elements would be more accessible.
A bit anal, but important to consider when talking about accessibility, it's very context sensitive.
Privacy focused? This unknown site is proxy-Ing all requests too/from Reddit. Who knows what (if anything ) they are doing with that information. Surprised not to see this comment 12 hours and 200 comments layer.
Looking at the README I bet it would take about 5 minutes to create Dockerfile for this.

It feels to me like Reddit is only good for hobby or niche interests you might have. The main subreddits and politics are what make Reddit the shittiest. But if you stay away from these it’s ok.
It is still quite common on Reddit for users to inject politics into absolutely everything, regardless of the subject. It really is difficult to get away from sometimes.
Ironic, since JS was initially added to make things faster (ajax forms etc)

It's a valid concern, but the app is open-source, so you can download it and run it yourself locally if you want. Looking at the README I bet it would take about 5 minutes to create Dockerfile for this.
