       @strypey news.1j.nz appears a black page with white text that says: "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."

       @ethan True that 😳 But for me, allowing JS with source code available, from one domain, using NoScript, is much better than faffing around trying to figure out which proprietary JS domains I need to allow to get some text and images.

       @strypey I see your logic. Note though that the actual JS on that site is not free. The code is obfuscated, with no link to the original source. There is also no free license attached making it "all rights reserved."https://news.1j.nz/static/js/2.8bdc76fa.chunk.jsIt's effectively a proprietary derivative of an MIT-licensed work, though if you can determine what minification scheme was used you may be able to verify that it is functionally the same as the free version.

       @chaosmonk I agree with you that it ought to be linked directly from the site, but AFAIK full source code is here, under the "MIT" license:https://git.1j.nz/jason/qotnews/

       @strypey Right, that's the free version. I'm saying that the version running in your browser when you allow JS on https://news.1j.nz is not that, and that it's proprietary. This is probably not malicious or even intentional, but rather done automatically by some webshit dependency. Even if a developer is well-intentioned, all the typical problems with JS on the web are just an "npm install" away. They are engrained in the culture of web development, and take conscious effort to avoid.

       @strypey woah, this is cool to see.I replaced Tanner's react ui with svelte/sapper which better allowed for JS being optional.

       @jason Cool. Did you share the source code somewhere?
