Discourse works without javascript. AFAIK it even has email support as well (I don't know how that works).

It barely works without JS. Essentially everything other than basic text display is broken, including search, pagination, sorting, etc. that said, I am surprised it works at all given the aforementioned loading throbber before you can see a page.
I stand corrected, their demo page is broken without javascript, for example you can't login and post.
Pagination works fine tho, for their demo page at least. An example long thread, [1] has a clickable link to [1]?page=2 at the bottom of the page.
But you can't post. If you log in (using javascript) it refuses to show you anything without javascript later, and you can't post a new message.
It's clearly not their priority, and I am not sure why.
