JavaScript on the server is better than JavaScript in my browser because at least it doesn’t waste my battery.

Actually it would sort of be nice if these frameworks could be coded such that if I have JavaScript shut off, it just runs the code elsewhere and sends me the site.

Or better yet, just write HTML and CSS and be done with it. But that’s too hopeful.

Remix does!

Actually, most (all?) of the major frameworks will do SSR on pageload and only use client-side rendering for re-renders. But yeah, Remix will do exactly what you're asking for and force you to do full-page refreshes without JS. If that's what you really want.

Nice! This seems like a reasonable compromise.
