Some time ago, a website was posted here (forgot the topic) which consisted of .md files, and a JavaScript library which would then, on the client, render the markdown on the fly.

Why on earth the markdown was not pushed through a renderer so that then the server could serve static HTML is probably a question that only occurs to old timers like us.

That specific case sounds like a case of "Because I can and I think it's neat" more than anything.
