I've thought about this.
If I have a blog or similar media site, and require javascript, I might offer a 15/month option to allow access to a text only interface and an RSS feed. No graphics, no pictures, a very simple link and text interface.
And the moment I start seeing subscriptions coming in, I'll believe in progressive enhancement again.
(Progressive enhancement doesn't affect me as an application developer in the web space. But if it did...)
- qu4z-2 13y agoRealistically most of your readers will come through links and the like, and thus not be willing to pay a subscription. If it were a site I frequent, I'd probably be willing to pay $3-4/month for a simple, clean, static html version (no need to remove the pictures though -- I can choose whether to load those client-side). Something like this, say: [http://mnmlist.com/unknown/ http://mnmlist.com/unknown/] I'd only pay 15-20/month if I could get the entire web like that :) Most likely, at 15/month I'd just not visit your site. EDIT: PLEASE don't use the navigation from that site though. It's ... way too vertical.
- discostrings 13y agoInteresting, but I think there's probably a large intersection between users who want a text-only interface and users who don't want their browsing habits on your site attached to their name in your database.
