It would be nice if there was a no-javascript fallback - at least a message saying "This site only works with javascript enabled." If you have noscript, this site is completely blank until you enable a couple of things and reload.

You thought a web page webasm ide would work without javascript?

  How would you know it was a webasm IDE if it's just a blank page? (I thought it was going to be a music DAW when I clicked the link)

      I thought it was going to be an article about a tool, not a tool itself. I figured it out, but would've appreciated a "This only works with JS" note.

      Even if you correctly pick up on the implications of "studio", it could also be a page about WebAssembly Studio or the page where you download it.

  No, but NoScript approaches each new site with javascript disabled. You have to manually allow it after you arrive. But when you arrive to a completely blank content area, you may be left wondering if the page simply hasn't completed loading. Obviously once I realize it has loaded, but it's blank, I assume it's because it requires javascript. So I enable it and reload, and it works as expected.

Perhaps a missing browser feature? "You loaded a page with JS but you also disabled JS execution, so it probably won't work"

  That would unfortunately be about as useful as the cookie notices - practically every website intentionally or unintentionally includes or references javascript in some way, so the browser would always give the notice.
