It is so refreshing to see slim, fast websites. Only the minimal JS is used. Even though I don't have many repositories, I'll certainly consider supporting gitly.

Please remain true to your current vision.

Just a minor point: although the website uses so little JS, the Signup form is broken without it.

EDIT: by broken I mean it returns a JSON instead of an HTML page or HTTP redirect.

Thank you! I knew I'm not the only one with this vision. It will always stay this way.

The form should work fine, I'm getting registrations, but I'll check it. What browser are you using?

It's Chrome 56.0.2924.87 on macOS, but the issue is that the form point to an API endpoint, so without Javascript I can only see the JSON response instead of being redirected to the protected page.
Ah, right. If JavaScript is disabled, you are going to get the JSON response.

I will definitely make it work without JavaScript.

Thanks for reporting.
