It seems like given the tricks I've seen with long-http requests and browsers, it might be possible to implement a version that doesn't require JS.

I think that would also have the effect of being able to easily curl it. Could just add a lil nixos module and quietly deploy it to a few servers. Gotta keep the sky up, of course.

That wasn't meant as a complaint, more like a "cheat". I also didn't disable JS, it's just uMatrix blocks third party stuff by default.
