I've been meaning to build some utility websites like a simple forum and a simple pastebin and the like for a while just entirely without javascript, kind of like the old days. I want a simpler web with less bloat.
- boredumb 3y agoI'm not javascript free, but i've been actively pursueing building useful things with as little if any javascript and have been impressed with what I can get done with forms and html templating. A few years ago moving to a new area I was trying to find a CPA and saw simple brochure sites are loading 10+ mb of resources and 10+ JS snippets and realized how bad things have really gotten, even with an adblocker on these days a 3g network is hardly enough to browse a massive portion of the web.
