Hi, I'm the author of the website you are referring to.

The website is built using webflow, which is a very reasonable choice for someone who wants to run a website who is not also a developer. Embedding or linking to content on third party services like youtube, twitter or airtable is not an unusual thing to do.

The website has no revenue model, and has been provided free of charge since 2010. Though it's not perfect - it would after all be preferable to entirely javascript-free - it's had a tiny net positive effect on the web.

You suggested using NocoDB instead of airtable. NocoDB was launched 3 days ago.

The parent commenter was out of line with their insinuations IMO. Thanks for your efforts towards keeping the web a little bit cleaner.
Yes, they are mere suggestions. You are doing great with the site, attracting attention to Dark Patterns in general and now with HoS to the specific parties involved. Highly appreciate the effort, thanks.
