hi, folks. i took withoutjs.org domain a long time ago but i didn't publish anything on this domain unless now due some mental issues. currently i moved another city and i have some spare time while seeking job ( i am android developer ). i thought publishing something/providing service over this domain will be good in this spare time. my main aim is providing usable javascriptless websites to other peoples and earn some bucks.

i will listen your thoughts, maybe i will get some supporters. idk.

What is the value of providing usable javascriptless websites?

Hi dear, I was thinking about the same idea for a long time. My final thought is that you should look for another marketing term and to not only label your service javascriptless, but try to find another interesting point like e.g. more compatible for devices for people with disabilities. Also bringing back an old look and feel from a service that changed a lot overs years would be appealing. Try to add value that goes along with javascriptless.

faster page loading, lesser resource usage comes from javascriptless approach. other values comes from usability, clean ui/ux.

Your aim is making money, but who are you trying to sell it to?

It seems to me people who care about js-lessness are probably savvy enough to build it themselves.

I would say you need a clearer vision and more focus. Perhaps less resource usage and faster page loading can target people who don’t have a decent internet connection?

> world will be better place without hell of javascript

I think this tone is probably a little too confrontational if you wish to sell this to people. I for one, am fine and perfectly happy with most websites which certainly use a decent amount of Javascript. I wouldn't consider it 'hell' by any stretch of the imagination.

It also seems quite opinionated (given you've mentioned you are an android developer and not a web developer) and I'm not sure it's a good angle for starting a business ...
