- progval 7y agoIt depends on where you draw the line between what you call a webpage vs a webapp. If a webpage is something with just text, images, and non-interactive forms (and audio and video to a lesser extent), then it's perfectly possible.

- vbezhenar 7y agoNobody complains that Google Maps are using JS. People are complaining that developers abusing JS just to show simple page or video which is perfectly doable with HTML 5.
- Avamander 7y agoShowing a simple video isn't simple without JS, it's just clunky in all aspects.
- kbenson 7y agoI think you're mistaking simple for something else. Simple can easily be clunky. I would even say simple is often clunky. Making something elegant, and full of features, and pretty is often complex.
- Avamander 7y agoIt's not simple even for the developer to use the video tag if you want a thing that works.
- vbezhenar 7y agoIt's very simple: just use <video> tag.
