I’m building a "small web" social network with 0kb of client-side JavaScript.

I’ve been building a small project called SocialHearth. A "small web" forum centered around the idea of a hearth: a place people gather, not something that pulls you in.

No algorithms, no feeds, no data collection, no engagement bait. It’s designed to feel more like a place you visit than something that constantly pushes content at you.

One constraint I set: 0KB of client-side JavaScript. Everything is server-rendered (Node.js), including posting and upvoting (“stoking”).
It’s still early, but it’s been great seeing people show up and actually talk.

Curious what others think... is a "pull, not push" model (with no JS) viable long-term?
