I just tried to volunteer for the repair cafe in The Tron, and I this experience all over again;
I fought my way through a thicket of 3rd-party domains serving proprietary JS, and then had to do a bunch of unpaid MOLE Training for Goggle in order to submit the contact form. In the end it seemed to have submitted, but I got no feedback confirming that.

This is infuriatingly bad UX, and probably puts off a lot of people who might otherwise be willing to contribute their tech skills.
I was recently reading about HDA (Hypermedia-Driven Architecture). I only understand the broad strokes, but I really think it points to a way out of all this legacy garbage descended from the GLAMP stacks of the noughties.
