Seriously? This is essentially a static HTML page, why is it completely useless unless JavaScript is enabled?
EDIT: Useless meaning there is 0 content that can be seen. It's not that it's ugly w/o JS, there is nadda, zilch, nothing without it.

Not all of them. It's just disturbing that people move so far away from the basics for such simple tasks as static HTML. What about those with disabilities and use screen readers or braille displays? I guess the author doesn't care about the blind or those who choose not to execute arbitrary code on their computers.
Having a limitation sucks at least two times, the first when you find you can't do something and the second time, after learning to do that thing, when people assumes you can't even try.
But you're right - I shouldn't have said that as I what I really meant is that the author decided that the blog post working the way it works is fine for people who can run Elm and therefore one shouldn't really expect that he'd cater to others.
While I'm pretty far from blind, I don't have all that great eyesight myself, so I can (at least the smallest little tiny bit) relate. I should have said what I said in the previous paragraph instead of what I said in my previous comment and I apologise. Thanks for calling me out on it.
Screen readers work just fine with js generated content¹². I don't know about braille displays, but I guess they work the same.
