Some Rules

Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
Don't promote proprietary software
Try to keep things on topic
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
Be nice :)

Don't you love it when a website is incapable of showing anything but a blank screen when javascript is disabled

Don't you love it when you view source and its all there and fully functional, but the body has display: none; because Web Framework of the Minute™ has convinced web designers that fancy animations are the bee's knees

They all deliberately act like they don't know what Progressive Enhancement is

React became defacto and destroyed view source and progressive enhancement in a single blow

I'm honestly okay with that if it makes sense for the website.

A massive web app? That's fine.

Your 2 page blog that you built using React and added 7 UI libraries? just turn on SSR ffs

If it makes sense, yeah.

In a lot of cases it just doesn't.

Whats surprising to me is how many websites are completely functional
