Wh- why is that a bad thing? What about it would be made better by JS?

It's just a document, html is the reasonable choice for things like that.

If you want to PR and then maintain 200 html list item components by hand, you’re more than welcome to join as a co-maintainer. :)

I'm guessing it's using static hosting so server side rendering is out of the question, but if you wanted to make it work without JavaScript a static site generator could be used to avoid having to maintain 200 list items manually.

I was being facetious. I know what SSG is.

Wouldn’t a static site generator take care of that? Not being snarky just asking.

Yes. It would. I was joking. I don’t feel the need to implement it. This project (outside of data) hasn’t really been updated since it launched. Someone tried to force TypeScript upon it, but I’m a big fan of “don’t overkill it.” At the time, SSG was (and is) overkill for my stupid, single page weekender.

Oops. I misunderstood. I was really confused by this whole thread until I went back and looked at the page source and realized the person I replied to meant that with JS turned off, the page is blank.
