Comment on SEO in JavaScript Web Appsparent

Comments

Honestly, with every worthwhile browser (both desktop and mobile) supporting JavaScript and having it enabled by default, it doesn't make much sense to support browsers with it disabled.

Well, javascript support in w3m and lynx is still pretty poor. It makes it harder to easily get some content from offline reading using wget/curl.

It does depend on what kind of site/app you're making. I'd say that if your main content is text, then requiring js makes no sense (especially if you're publishing some blog posts on configuring server software -- I might want do download that article to a headless server).

I think most apps also benefit from an old school REST architecture, so that it is possible to eg: script your todo-app with curl to create a new todo-item without having to go through 3 pages of api-specs.
