- notpushkin 3y agoBecause it used to work without JS, but more importantly because it used to work better without JS – stuff loaded more quickly and the overall experience felt snappier. Not sure if it is front page worthy but it is still sad.
- revskill 3y agoBecause they refactored into microservices.
- junon 3y ago... This isn't why.
- greenie_beans 3y agoah okay that's fair then.
- swiftcoder 3y agoProbably because they also significantly regressed page load times when they decided to asynchronously load the most important part of the page (i.e. the source file or Readme you are navigating to). Lean, mean javascript only bothers hardliners. But everybody suffers a user experience hit from async-javascript-for-the-sake-of-it
