Is it impossible to use Aardwolf without enabling Javascript?

Opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

For some environment like Tor and I2P, it's important matter to keep security as much as possible, and JavaScript could be serious harmful factor for that.
It would be better to let users have some options for that, like theme. (theme having javascript files and theme having just plain html-css)
Any suggestions?

My goal, which we haven't discussed in great detail, is that all of the core functionality of Aardwolf will be available without JS, and that in general, the app will be in ROCA style. Having JavaScript available will make very many features much more pleasant to use, and should greatly improve the user experience. But you should be able to read your feed and post to it even from a text-only browser like elinks or w3m.

I was LITERALLY thinking about learning more on ROCA style this morning. Would be a good thing to move to the discussion board. So that we can hash it out.

We will endeavor to refrain from JavaScript where possible.
It seems as though there are enough bits, and pieces in the various Rust-based frameworks, and web stuff to be able to get away without having it at all.

However, I will keep this in mind for sure :)
