...for example, the first Show HN on the front page right now. Doesn't work at all when cookies are blocked—it just renders some stars and some chrome.

But okay, I'll run it in another browser. Wow, it's a really cool WebGL visualization of global temperatures. And what is it using localStorage for? It sets one key called `runOnce` to `true`. I think that could be considered optional. Easy to fix, if they knew about it.

I'm looking to see if I can fix this now but I don't want to make risky changes while a few people are watching. Will look into it though - Cheers.!

If you're too scared to make changes to your application, that's a great reason to start making sure you have test-cases, and a test-suite.

My toy side-project has a full regression test which is executed before any (automated) deploy/upgrade, for precisely this reason.

I think this is for a different app, could you please move the comment there?
