I don't have to turn on Javascript to read HN. Why should I have to with this?

Hell, I had to turn on Javascript just to not see a wall of text on coderwall. Honestly, HTML and CSS for layout people.

View on HN

What are you talking about? His "mockup" (http://jsbin.com/ewufof/3/edit or http://jsbin.com/ewufof/3 (full-screen)) has no JavaScript.

I have to allow jsbin to see anything more than some spinning image. No, I don't allow javascript to see text.

His mockup is hosted on a javascript-based sketchbook platform (which is nominally intended for sharing/developing javascript snippets), despite the fact that there's no javascript in his mockup.

Shoulda used Codepen.io ;-0

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/zhIiA (http://codepen.io/anon/full/zhIiA)

It did rather confuse me too.

This is what I see when I visit that page in FF14 on Kubuntu - http://imgur.com/DTf8t.

The links, eg to the updated HN, are plain text without JS enabled. Had me wondering for several minutes a) how the designer of the page could possibly be criticising someone elses design and b) how everyone else was managing to see the new HN design (yes if I'd bothered to read it I'd have seen the link text but I was scanning for a link to view the work).
