@star I mean, when I have the choice I'll do anything reasonably possible in order to make web things I build not hard depend on javascript. I also think that this should be an objective for more web developers, many many more than now (being realistic: anything that isn't driven by capitalism).

Complaining about things needlessly breaking without javascript enabled is a good thing in principle, IMO. But small indie projects with very limited resources (which I'm assuming this is about) are not the place for it.

Not hard depending on JS is a good objective for various reasons, but in the end it can be simply toggled back on and the problem for the user is gone. This can't be said about keyboard navigation, screen reader accessibility, etc. – things that people actually need and haven't chosen to, things that should be demanded of any project targeting the general public. And together with fixing bugs in general or implementing needed features, these are just much more important than supporting a niche use case that can be toggled on and off with a switch.
