Why does an imageboard need javascript?
An imageboard might use JavaScript mainly to enhance the user experience and interface. Here are a few reasons why JavaScript is useful on an imageboard:1. Dynamic Content Loading: JavaScript allows for asynchronous data fetching, meaning the page can load new images or posts without having to refresh the entire page. This makes browsing faster and smoother.2. Interactive Features: With JavaScript, users can interact with the page more dynamically. Features like expanding thumbnails to full-size images, toggling visibility of elements (like spoilers or detailed info), or live previews of post formatting can be implemented easily.3. Form Handling and Validation: Before submitting forms, like when uploading images or posting comments, JavaScript can validate input on the client side. This reduces errors and server load, as incorrect or incomplete forms can be corrected by the user before being sent to the server.4. Notifications and Real-Time Updates: JavaScript can be used to add real-time notifications for new posts or updates to threads, enhancing the community and discussion aspects of an imageboard.5. User Interface Enhancements: Things like drag-and-drop uploads, sorting and filtering posts, or customizing the layout can be managed through JavaScript, making the site more responsive and tailored to user preferences.Without JavaScript, an imageboard would still function but would be less responsive and interactive, requiring more page reloads and less dynamic content handling.

>>100126876it doesn't, it makes it more convenient.i was planning on writing one that doesn't use js, but abandoned it

I'm a notorious phoneposter so none of that js gets executed, just open source code from my 4chan posting app.It's free as in freedom.

>>100127150Copying and pasting text from ChatGPT onto a message board can be detrimental because it may violate copyright laws or the terms of service of the platform. Additionally, without proper attribution or context, the copied text may appear disjointed or out of place, potentially leading to misunderstandings or confusion among other users. Furthermore, relying solely on copied text can inhibit critical thinking and engagement with the material, as it doesn't encourage original thought or synthesis of ideas.

>>100127026i know 3 people who did that and seen similar posts numerous timesit seems obsessing over minimalism and abandoning projects is a pattern
>>100128111True minimalism in code is simply just not writing any
