Why does this site require JS to display content at all?

Modern webpages don't load unless they have at least 5 years access to your medical records. This page is the attempt of a non-coder, who believes that Open Source is an ethical (and privacy-aware) choice, to share resources with other people. As a non-coder, they are only exposed to the trash tools that we as programmers give them now, hence the page is as it is, no worse than the average restaurant's site. Hopefully it is successful and eventually the author gets help in simplifying the code.
Also hopefully, over time, they gain a preference for Free Software since they seem to prefer Open Source for ethical reasons. It's a point of pride for Open Source that it asks no ethical questions; only because of that it conforms to the ethical stance of Free Software because it's willing to conform to the ethical stance of any distributor.

As a 40 y/o guy it makes me sad how people are rediscovering server side rendering (see the recent "HTML over the wire" post here on HN) but I guess it is what it is.

Made me laugh, thanks.
