I guess it's beautiful, in the same sense that ASCII art or 4K intros can be beautiful. But in a world where the change that I'll be using a browser that doesn't support Javascript is vanishingly small, I don't really see the practical benefit.
- jdnenej 7y agoIt's not that your browser doesn't support JS, it's that loading an entire js framework and running mountains of code is so slow. So now we are all bogged down with slow websites for something that could be lightning fast
- spectramax 7y agoThe world has moved on to depend on unnecessary (sometimes necessary) javascript based frameworks, single page applications that have an enormous complexity. The world works almost like an evolutionary process - the marginal cost of reverting back to previous way of doing things is too high even if objectively the previous way was better than today. Comparing SH (and other javascript-less web apps) to ASCII art or 4k intros is a shallow dismissal. How do you not see any practical benefit? Sourcehut works well and does everything it needs to.
