Sorry about that. Since this page is built with urbit it's easy to just request the raw Markdown. Here's plain text for anyone interested: http://urbit.org/po

Here's plain text for anyone interested: http://urbit.org/posts/overview.md http://urbit.org/posts/overview.md Edit: it should be easy for us to stick that link inside a noscript tag be default. Issue here: https://github.com/urbit/arvo/issues/149 https://github.com/urbit/arvo/issues/149

Maybe the noscript tags for those pages could just show a link to the underlying .md? Then you don't need to worry about including it in the page, and it's still available. :)

  Agreed. Thanks for saying something!

To be honest, the site could use some work. Low-hanging fruit mainly, I'm not even asking for anything browsers didn't do in the 90s. You're doing a lot of work yourself: loading pages (why not let the browser do that, catch errors, display progress, etc.? Now it shows a spinner and if I hadn't backgrounded the tab already I'd have given up on loading because "clearly the spinner isn't doing anything"); opening links (I can't ctrl+click because, hey, you're handling the opening of links yourself; why not let the browser do that?); changing the title happens only after the new page loaded, which takes 20 seconds, during which time a white page is displayed with the old browser and the new URL already (the browser would change it to "loading new page" for you); and there are some cross-origin resources (alright, the browser doesn't do this, but it's almost difficult to mess that up with the widespread TLS support these days). I probably caught most of my personal things, but the general idea is to be more lazy ;)

  Yeah, I agree (and I worked a lot on the frontend). The site is hosted with the default frontend for Urbit — so it's built to do a lot more than what it's doing in this specific case. The links not opening on ctrl+click is ridiculous (issue here: https://github.com/urbit/tree/issues/10 https://github.com/urbit/tree/issues/10) as are the cross-origin resources. Loading in the title is a good idea (issue here: https://github.com/urbit/tree/issues/11 https://github.com/urbit/tree/issues/11). Being lazy is good. I'm with you there!
