> What world of technology do you live in where the terrible UX of no javascript is acceptable? We're conversing on HN... a site that has specifically avoided UIX overhauls to maintain the simplicity and functionality of the forum. This site uses absolutely minimal JS, and although I've trusted HN to run JS I still have it disabled for the majority of the web. Many, many people still have a foot in the "no-JS" world for many reasons: accessibility, security, tracking, site load time, non-ideal geographic network conditions. You will find many people here who browse no-JS by default. Yes - it is clearly a minority of users who browse no-JS but it is absolutely still a thing in 2022. --- > page reload screen blip is visually disorienting I don't find this to be true. I think it's a difference between FE developers where many of us are fine with the traditional way the web works vs. trying to abstract it all into a SPA-like experience. I just don't find a page-to-page interaction to be "visually disorienting," and, neither do my users. Specifically, for forms I've learned to make them as-bullet-proof as humanly possible to the point of sometimes ensuring they use with a traditional multipart POST with JS disabled... Historically, I've had to work in industries like US higher education which has very specific regulations in regards to accessibility. I understand that many experience-based form solutions like Typeform, Jotform, etc do not do this. --- Also - just want to address your consistent use of caps in comments here. As-per HN community guidelines: > Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized. I've fallen for this one myself, not trying to be pedantic - just informing.
