Looks like this means HN's JavaScript is no longer just a single short script tag's worth. Definitely welcome changes, and thanks to those involved.

- PhantomGremlin 10y agoI've been using HN with JavaScript disabled and it has worked fine until today. Only thing that didn't work for me was search. But these new features require JS and that's fine with me. Not all JS is evil.
- Cieplak 10y agoSame story here. Actually, I think all of these new features would work without JS, using just CSS, except retaining collapsed threads across page loads (although given that CSS is technically Turing complete it is probably possible if the state were persisted server-side, which you can do with an html form; personally I would just use JS and cut my hosting costs).
