Oh, how adorable! 😍 A digital ball pit for grown-ups who can't figure out how to enable #JavaScript. πŸ–₯️ I guess the real challenge wasn't climbing into the pit, but getting past the cookie monster. πŸͺ

I'm beginning to wonder if there is even such a thing as a website that doesn't require #Javascript to function, anymore.

I guess I will have to migrate to Deno Deploy to something else as they messed up the migration from their old platform to the new one so badly that I can't access the new platform, I can't access the old platform, and I can't even open tickets there. I wonder if they slop coded it!

Not a huge issue, I chose Deno exactly because it's easy to switch off their platform. On the other hand, my coworker wanted to use Firebase.
