I appreciate the ~decent <noscript/> textContent. Telling exactly what purpose(s) JavaScript serves helps make an informed decision on whether to open a graphical web browser or continue with w3m. (In this case, it was obvious I could read on about Playdate just fine.)
I've grown sick of create-react-app default <noscript/> textContent.

- duxup 5y agoI think the population of folks who care is too small to do that. And honestly a good chunk of that population will still just complain anyhow / might not be persuaded. They already kinda made their call.
- mkr-hn 5y agoI think it depends on how much the set of people who browse without JavaScript and the set of people who might connect you with relevant and important people/opportunities intersects. I've heard of people running whole web ad campaigns just to reach one person.
- nexuist 5y agoFrankly the only time I ever see someone using a browser without JS is here on HN. Every person I know IRL or on other social media uses a regular browser like Chrome, Firefox, or sometimes Edge. I don't think even 1% of the global population knows it's possible to browse web pages without a GUI.
- shocks 5y agoIt’s really nice when they do this but the no JavaScript ship has sailed. I’d rather devs focus on accessibility for screen readers etc.
- BHSPitMonkey 5y agoDevs who would spend the 30 seconds adding the descriptive noscript text likely also pay attention to things like alt tags and semantic markup as well.
