I might be. I just do not understand why one should use more complex and less accessible web technologies if it does not lead to new functionality. When I learn a new framework, it usually is so I can do things that I could not do without.
- fusiongyro 10y ago"To learn" and "for fun" are perfectly sufficient explanations, even if you don't understand them.
- stephenr 10y agoBut his point is that the site isn't doing anything that couldn't be achieved without js. This would be like if a mechanic said he was going to replace your wheels with wooden ones he made himself because he wants to learn how to be a carpenter.
- abricot 10y agoNo, it would be like if a mechanic replaced the wheels on his own car with wooden ones to try it out. Nothing wrong with that. He's not forcing you to drive the car.
- simondelacourt 10y agoIt is a website for his own wedding offering a chance to learn something. I don't understand why there is a need to be pedantic about things like the JavaScript only in this context. It is a reoccurring thing on HN and it doesn't invite us to have a good discussion about the dependency to JS. There is also no need to compare it to yourself. It just comes off very self centered. I understand that in many cases you might not need a certain technology but if there is a fun opportunity to learn a certain thing and using it has little to no harm, why not?
