Problem loading page

The page does not work without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to use privacy.sexy. There's no shady stuff as 100% of the website is open source.

Still kind of ironic.

Yeah I was already formulating my rant to complain about web pages that are not able to show what essentially is text and images, without supporting JavaScript...

But now that I saw the site, I can understand that the need is justified, given how the page is built (essentially not a web site, but an application that allows dynamically building a script, by injecting snippets that each do a specific function).

No doubt this could have been done with just text and hyperlinks, but the result would have been a completely different UX.

It’s not just text and images. It build a script tailored to your desire.
Isn't that essentially what all web apps do? Dynamically add and remove content from a single page?
