I see, thanks for the great explanation.

I admit the thought that some users aren't using JS concerns me because, while I try and always build sites with a fallback, it generally results in a lesser experience. Often fallbacks just aren't possible so I need to remove the feature altogether.

I bet there's a lot of sites that still work for you, but not quite as well as if JS were enabled.



Don't worry about users like me.

Make your content load, but anything above that, users are on their own if they decide not to enable JavaScript.

In this age, with all of the rich user applications, JS is practically a requirement.

For my startup, the frontend gracefully fallbacks to a working version for users.

For the backend, they get a blackscreen saying JS is required. If users are going to use my application, they should expect to have JS enabled for the best possible user experience.

Don't worry about it is the upshot!
