Hello,

I’m trying to setup an online computer store via YunoHost installed on my VPS. I’m okay with payments to be handled via a third party payment processor (who preferrably also has no JS, but I understand that is probably unlikely). I also have my domain up and running, so I’m ready to test whatever I can get.

TIA!

    Uhh, I may not be the sharpest software developer in the shed, but I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking for here. By the sound of it, you’re looking to build and deploy an entire e-commerce website without any JavaScript at all, correct? Which makes me more than a little curious about what you’re expecting to use instead.

      It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90’s. It’s certainly possible, but it won’t result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.

        That’s how Amazon works.

        If you think all the stores in the internet now are PWA’s you are sadly mistaken. MVC web apps are pretty well suited for things like shops and they never went away. There are entire languages and frameworks like PHP, Python, Java that actively support that style of app. It also lends itself really well to caching.

        I wouldn’t say it’s completely JavaScript free though. Client side JS is still extremely useful and attempting to make a store with zero JS might be a bit tough.

        To me it sounds like they want to host a store on Tor or i2p considering it’s typically recommended to disable JavaScript while browsing those networks due to security concerns.
