webaccessibility.guide is not viewable in lynx

HI
lynx, the text browser commonly used to render the web by the visually impaired (and used by lots of other folks), does not seem to render your website at https://webaccessibility.guide/. It looks to me like this is caused by the site being rendered by some sort of javascript? (lynx does not support js.) Is it possible to include some (accessible) html on your site as a fallback?
This also looks like a great tip :)
Hey, @larryhynes thanks for addressing this issue. Right now the website is generated with hyperapp on the frontend. I am not sure if hyperapp has any way of SSR.
Do you have any other ideas on how to achieve this? Maybe a fallback html page saying that you need JS in order to access the website's content?
Maybe change way the website is made? It's up to you. If it was up to me, I would make sure the site is accessible using a standard tool used by the impaired. (You might, some day, also check how your site renders in edbrowse which was written by a blind developer and is another tool used to access the web by those who cannot avail of the usual means. It can handle js.)
