Ten years ago today I coined the shorthand “js;dr” for “JavaScript required; Didn’t Read”
* https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead
in reference to (primarily content) pages that were empty (or nearly so) without scripts.
Since then js;dr found its way into a book:
Page 88 of “Inclusive Design Patterns” by @heydonworks.com (@[email protected])

and stickers!

At the time I made the claim that:
“in 10 years nothing you built today that depends on JS for the content will be available, visible, or archived anywhere on the web.”
I’ve seen and documented many such sites, built with a hard dependency on scripting, that end up dead and unarchived. Many of these have been documented on the IndieWeb’s js;dr page:
* https://indieweb.org/js;dr
I have to ask though: does anyone remember building a site 10 years ago (Internet Archive citation) with a Javascript library/framework dependency to display content, that still works today?
E.g. using one of the popular libraries/frameworks used to build such sites back then like AngularJS (discontinued 2022), Backbone.js, Ember.js, or even React which was still quite new at the time.
The one almost exception I found was Facebook, e.g. this Smashing Magazine post on Facebook barely renders some content and all commentary is missing, in the earliest (2019) version saved on the Internet Archive:
* https://web.archive.org/web/20191123225253/https://www.facebook.com/smashmag/posts/10153198367332490
You can extract the direct Facebook link if you want to try viewing it in the present.
Regarding those libraries/frameworks themselves, I wrote:
“All your fancy front-end-JS-required frameworks are dead to history, a mere evolutionary blip in web app development practices. Perhaps they provided interesting ephemeral prototypes, nothing more.”
Of all those listed above, only React has grown since, likely at the expense of the others.
However instead of fewer such libraries and frameworks today, it seems we have many more (though it feels like their average hypespan is getting shorter with each iteration).
Since I wrote “js;dr”, the web has only become more fragile, with ever more dependencies on scripting just to display text content. The irony here is that Javascript, like XML, has draconian parsing rules. One syntax error and the whole script is thrown out.
This means it’s far too easy for any such JS-dependent site to break, in one or more browsers, whenever browsers change, or Javascript changes, or both.
You wouldn’t build a site today (or 20 years ago) that depends on fragile draconian XML parsing, so why build a site that depends on fragile draconian Javascript parsing?
I’ll repeat my claim from ten years ago, slightly amended, and shortened:
In 5 years nothing you (personally, not a publicly traded company) build today that depends on Javascript in the browser to display content will be available, visible, or archived anywhere on the web.
There’s a lot more to unpack about what we’ve collectively lost in the past ten years of fragile scripting-dependent site-deaths, and why web developers are choosing to build more fragile websites than they did 10 or certainly 20 years ago.
For now I’ll leave you with a few positive encouragements:
Practice Progressive Enhancement.
Build first and foremost with forgiving technologies, declarative technologies, and forward and backward compatible coding techniques.
All content should be readable without scripting.
Links, buttons, text fields, and any other interactive HTML elements should all work without scripting.
Scripts are great for providing an enhanced user experience, or additional functionality such as offline support.
Then make sure to test your pages and sites without scripts, to make sure they still work.
If it's worth building on the web, it's worth building it robustly, and building it to last.

check the submission guidelines or sign up for email alerts to be notified when we publish in may!
https://goodinternetmagazine.com
if this is your first time hearing about this, you still have enough time to come up with and write an article or complete a digital #art piece, if you're passionate about the #internet and want to write about it! :) bloggers, it's your time to shine!~
i can't wait to show y'all the incredible stories that have been submitted from all over the 'net, and some of the coolest art i've seen about the web!
thank you to everyone who's been so supportive of this project already. this is why this side of the internet is amazing. ❤️ please boost, if you can; i want to make sure i did everything i could to include as many diverse voices as i can.

@aimee@mastodon.nz
Here in the fedi the hashtags #indieWeb #smallWeb #personalWebsite are a good starting point.
Then theres the website directory on neocities.org. There are other hosting services like that that also have website directories, e.g. nekocweb.org.
The 32-Bit Café is a good rescource one, too. I'm a member the forum and it's a wonderful community there. They also have a Discord server, but I am not using that, so I can't say anything about it.
Then there are newsletters and e-zines, like Srolls from @shellsharks@malici.ous.computer, or ajazz's From the Superhighway, or Own your Web by @matthiasott@mastodon.social that are good entrypoints as well.
Lots of members and voices from the community are also in the fedi. You'll find them as soon as you explore those hashtags above.
And then it's all surfing form one to the other site from there. You'll be amazed about what you're going to find! Have fun!

Just a few minutes in to arriving at Fediverse House and already it was super valuable. There is really nothing like meeting people face to face. It’s an exciting time for the open web and you can feel it in hearing what people are working on and thinking about.
