Oh I get it now!

lol at the irony of my comment, I honestly had no idea.

I personally wouldn't use this for my blog because in my opinion a blog shouldn't require Javascript to display content, but I know I'm in the minority there and it's important that people try different things and push the boundaries. Thank you for sharing this OP!

I strongly agree. It's fine if you want to use javascript to augment appearance and behavior, but if a blog post won't load something basically readable in lynx or w3m or similar, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

that's like saying that "if you can't print it on punch cards it's all bad". the progress didn't stop with lynx. probably good 90% of the modern internet won't work without javascript

I could care less as long as my browser loads it. I don't surf the internet with cURL though, so it doesn't really effect me.
