- Tomdarkness 13y agoWondered what your comment was about until I saw your username. Although I'm not one to really demand sites provide support for browsers without JS enabled it does seem a bit silly that the site requires JS to just display what is basically a static page.

- jaredsohn 13y agoFor those curious, the FAQ says that this should be addressed in the future (it presently sends HTML to search engines if the spiderable package is installed.) >A future version of Meteor will also send HTML to web browsers on inital page load. The Meteor templating system was designed specifically to support this use case.
- felixmar 13y agoI wonder why they have not implemented that from the beginning. Right now rendering the initial page with JavaScript feels non-native, like a Flash plug-in. I suspect that it will be even more noticeable for large web applications.
- yathern 13y agoThough I understand the point you are trying to make, and agree with it as well, lets please not have novelty accounts here.
- marknutter 13y agoProtip - if you turn javascript on you can read the article.

- outside1234 13y agoI know what you are trying to say, but I'd argue that the time has gone and past on HTML-only. JavaScript is a required part of the internet presentation platform at this point.
- jabbernotty 13y agoRequired for this page, yes. But, necessary? Only for interactive visualizations and content updates.
- ericd 13y agoIt's gone far beyond that for many sites. It's essentially a minimum requirement now, and there's not much good reason for it not to be enabled.
- Legion 13y agoI would prefer my mobile devices not have to burn the extra battery required to execute JavaScript code just to display a page of purely static content. Yes, it is reasonable to expect all browsers to have JavaScript enabled, but that doesn't mean it should be carelessly used.

- jabbernotty 13y agoBut there IS good reason for disabling things like js. Disabling makes sense for both security and privacy reasons, and yes, costs. The most publicized example of the latter is cheaper airline tickets.
