I finally created the perfect JavaScript runtime: No-JS (feddit.de)

Every line of code has been audited by all security researchers. The implementation is language agnostic and extremely slim (0 LOC). It runs all the JavaScript I want (none).

No bugs, no security issues. It's the perfect runtime.

And yet, somehow there is still a bug in the datetime implementation.

Then we can just catch the error and pretend it never happened

Ironically, such a site would more bugs then of it would use Javascript. And security issues are still an issue too.

Basically everything has to be handled through forms and a site reload and hidden components and lots of css :hover events. Have you ever tried making a dropout without Javascript? It isn't impossible, but really hard.

And such sites exist. Just that they're mostly Darknet sites like like Dread or Bohemia

dropout menus are actually pretty easy to do without js

all you need is focus-within and friends.

like i recently made one on my personal project (which fully works without js, which is only used for realtime chat functionality and some additional effects, like loading icons in forms and stuff)

Pretty cool. Btw on your 404 page, the footer is in the center of my screen (vertical center). I am on android using Firefox. I hit the 404 error trying out the search bar. Just thought you might like to know.

yeah it's unfinished, I'm planning to get back to it soon

That's pretty impressive. I tried doing something similar a few months ago but couldn't find anything. Are you using a framework or how do you render the site on the server?

about the menu - it's just based on focus-within. no need for any terrible hacks.
about the backend - it's just some basic templates (tera+rocket)
