seeing things like juxtapose make me a little bit sad. realizing that javascript can be used for good. not good but in a good way. as a little interactive things embedded in a normal, static page.

not the turning a div into a button using one of the many huge web frameworks.
not having the whole site be “rendered” by the client and inaccessible to people without JS.
not using fingerprinting and tracking and all of that. not using one of the 50 million web apis to access my VR headset and render a small 3d world there.

just a small element made using a single, dependency-free js file.

idk though. tuning js off and it completely disappears. could be better.

idk i wish javascript could *just* be small things that listen for events, then change the dom. and nothing more.

but my problem’s more with how it’s used, i guess. i like accessing fedi through akkoma in the browser.

i just wish there was a clear separation between a little js sprinkled in a web page and a full-on web app. and people only used web apps when it really had to be an app. not using a framework to display their blog or documentation. but idk.
