hey!

it seems like you have javascript disabled.

while i appreciate your concern, i don't think you should do this.
i'm really tired of arguing with people about disabled javascript, honestly.

i'm not going to force you to enable it, like 90% of my website works just fine without it (except, well, tools), but i do think that you should stop trying to be smart.

the web is swiftly moving from document-first to application-first, most of the modern websites are applications, and that's for a reason.

it's more than just business interests. html and css suck, for a multitude of reasons, and despite the ongoing standartization efforts, browser-specific quirks are still a thing (fuck safari).

and most of the web developers just don't care about supporting non-js users, and you (the user) is the one who ends up empty-handed.

just like they don't care about ie9 users, lol.

tldr: disabling js is not worth it, just keep it enabled for your own sanity :3
