Ask HN: Should a website work without JavaScript?

Some things just won't work without JavaScript. Or would be way, WAY too hard to implement without JS.

But a website should at least appear without JavaScript. I've seen lots of websites that look empty or horribly distorted when JavaScript is disabled. That should not happen.

Like.. instagram photo pages? (seriously, without js they're just a blank page!)

I'm not sure; I think it's telling that Instagram, arguably one of the most popular / trafficked and supported (Facebook) websites out there, thinks it's unnecessary to even show an ERROR page if a browser has JS disabled.
