One would expect better reading comprehension from people who want websites to look like it's 1993.

As opposed to this cute website that's built for toddlers.

The very first mention of Javascript on the site is a huge graphic (full width) that says "NO JAVASCRIPT REQUIRED".

The very next item on the page is another huge graphic which says “unless you want it”.

Agreed...and honestly I didn't scroll any further. I saw, "No Javascript Required" and scrolled back to the top, went to the docs and looked at the example so I could see what this was like. Then I saw Javascript.

I just think that if you are saying so boldly that you don't need to use Javascript, then maybe your first example should be without Javascript?

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable take.

FWIW I kind of feel like “no js” may be a pipe dream today. I see a lot of talk about it but very few sites actually do it; there just seems to be a lot of pressure to use the next big JS framework in the community.

Also analytics and so forth.

Their website would probably be better if they actually drank their own kool-aid.
