Not if you want to make AND operations with tags (which is crucial functionality for bookmarking).

Playing devils advocate, but couldn't you do that with client side JS calling a Redis cache?

If viewing a list of basic links requires client-side JS you're doing it wrong.

It's not about viewing a list of basic links. It's to address the comment about performing AND operations to see only links that match multiple Tags.

Ok, I'll amend my statement to read: "if viewing a list of basic links that match a few basic filters requires client-side JS you're doing it wrong" and I stand by it.

If you'd like to employ JS to progressively-enhance your user experience, great. If you are architecturally requiring JS for basic functionality? stop.

[alberth]

If you were to have a static site (note: that was the original question), and want to perform a dynamic tasks (like filtering) - how else would you do it besides using JS?

The same way we did in 1995?
