I didn't see what was so special. You will need to enable javascript if you have that disabled. [Edit: with javascript it's cool the first time but if I want to read an article I don't need the animation every time...] I only read one article but it was really well written and presented. [re-edit] I was not being dismissive or negative. Since I didn't have JS enabled I didn't know I was missing anything. This site (unlike many) was functional without JS (which is what should happen IMO). Only after a second look did I think to enable JS to see there was more to it.

Honestly, what did you expect from browsing this thread with JavaScript disabled?

  I browse all sites with javascript disabled by default. I didn't know what to expect in this thread as I'm not a designer and hold none of those skills. I thought maybe the sites would be more about the content of the project than the design.

    Then look at the article about how acko.net was built. You'll want JS active, since like all of his work, it's usefully interactive. https://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/ https://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/

      I plan on visiting many articles on the site. The one I did read was pretty long (even this one is long to me) so if they are all that long it will be a slow process but I liked what I saw.

  No need for JavaScript to make a good website.

    Normally I would agree but in this case JavaScript serves its purpose.

I'm not sure why this comment is receiving downvotes, unless those downvoters have not read past the first 7 words - it's fair, complimentary, and points out one very important thing: > This site (unlike many) was functional without JS While I don't echo hfsktr's views on not seeing what's special - Steven Wittens' work is mindblowing - but I think the fact he has a site that is so Javascript-centric in content, while also being so perfectly functional and rich without, is doubly commendable.
