Project maintainer here, thanks for the feedback! It's indeed all rendered server-side with progressive enhancement, as javascript was intended to be used. Happy to read that this work is not in vain!

Agreed! That would be a great template to have in letsblock.it's corpus! Contributions are welcome if you have a ruleset to get us kickstarted.

I self-host several services on a cheap VPS, but I'm paying a yearly subscription to wallabag.it. I could very easily self-host it, but I chose to help fund its development though that subscription.
