seeing a project advertise as "no javascript" is a huge red flag for usability (and accessibility) tbqh, especially the fact that they won't even consider it even when it might be the best tool to make a ui element work.
yes use only what you have to
yes do progressive enhancement
no don't take a techbro all-or-nothing stance, it gets you nowhere

@linear i dont really have hard examples on hand and it's probably a bad idea to get hot takes out right before much needed bedtime, but;

colorschemes, fonts, font sizes, come to mind. While *technically* possible through horrible css hacks or page reloading, it makes the ux for switching much much worse, especially as you need to switch a couple of times to see what works best.

Really tbh, any interaction on a page (and this project has plenty) sucks when it has to navigate and load a new page whenever you want to favorite some thing, etc

Follow

@linear you also don't gain *anything* by saying you won't use any js, just shooting yourself in the foot, now or later
