Yes. I think they’re ok to ignore. Modern web applications, for better or worse are written in JavaScript. If someone chooses to opt out of society (as small as that society might be), that is a personal choice that should be respected but not necessarily catered to.
Most software teams are under tight schedules, with fierce competition, and are trying their hardest to deliver some value to most people. Telling them to now rewrite their application to work without JavaScript is the equivalent to making things still compatible with IE6.
- JohnFen 7y ago> Modern web applications, for better or worse are written in JavaScript. As a non-JS user, I have no expectation that I can use web applications, so I don't disagree here. However, most of the web does not consist of web applications. What about those sites? I don't see any compelling reasons (other than spite, maybe) for those sites to fail to work without JS.
- levlaz 7y agoI couldn’t agree with you more. Sorry if this was not clear. IMHO websites (as opposed to web apps) don’t need any JavaScript at all. Since the goal of most websites is to get as many as people as possible to see whatever content you have then you should absolutely make sure it looks decent and works well without JS.
- ksaj 7y agoFolks like me who use Raspberry Pi for web surfing will also agree. There are far too many sites requiring javascript for things that definitely don't improve the user experience, and instead make the experience clumsy (reloading the text just because javascript wants to do something to it, for example) and slow as molasses.
