This is a web app, not a web page. It's not supposed to anything with JS disabled. It's an actual program that runs locally, without JS no can do. As much of a problem as I have with web pages using gratuitous JS, it should be obvious that actual web applications such as this and gmail will not be able to "gracefully degrade".

> gmail will not be able to "gracefully degrade". Actually, gmail in particular DOES have a no-js version. Go to "Setting," click on "Help," then enter "Basic HTML view" in the search field, then click on "Standard view and basic HTML view," then "basic HTML view," then, if you wish to preserve the setting, on "set basic HTML as default view."

  OK, fair enough. But that's a huge effort to duplicate an app like this with a server-side version, and much less user-friendly as well.

    Getting all core functionality to work without JS is a huge effort. Getting an about link to show some text is pretty basic however.

If it degrades into an announcement that "hey this is a JS-based SPA for doing <frob> and for more details see <baz>" that would be a good start.

  That would be ideal for a web app like this.
