I read HN a lot, this topic always comes up so I said “I’m going to build a site that makes these readers happy. Take all their advice, no JS at all. Everything done in HTML. Everything they’re asking for” Turns out the hardest thing to do is to get people to use your site.

> Take all their advice

This site is horrible to take advice from. I would sooner ask why other people are doing things in a given way before trusting the HN hivemind to give advice on how to build a successful product.

Ironic, isn't it, when HN is directly related to a startup accelerator with many successful products and companies.
The annoyance features like JS can only cause us to leave a site we were already interested in.
Content is king, in the end. However serving it in a nice packaging never hurts.
