Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

JavaScript applets you actually like?

We all agree that JavaScript overuse has plagued the net for a dozen years or more, but I could find a gem yesterday which offers a hint of things done right: a JavaScript implementation of tafl, a board game popular across northern Europe in the Middle Ages which survived among the Lapps long enough for its rules to be recorded. It does not cook my processor like many bad sites today do. Have you got any favourite examples, live or archived, of JavaScript used properly to achieve amazing things?
