Great job!

People often insist that JS is necessary for interactivity, and it really, really isn't. You can create interactive web experiences without JS, and just add sprinkles of it when it makes sense.

"Basics" are more than enough for the vast majority of web content.



Thank you! I agree -- most sites on the web are just content and there's no reason to have excessive JavaScript or any reason why the page can't be perfectly functional without it. Some people call it 'The Website Obesity Crisis'.
