Make it work without JS #21

Closed akavel closed 11 years ago

It would be nice if viewing the contents (which is fairly static) wouldn't require me to have JavaScript enabled (and available at all) in the browser. This way I could also wget/curl such a page, etc.

all the JS does is call into http://gist.io/3135754/content, you can interface with that on your own if you like

Yup. The only difference between what you have on /…gist-id…/content and what you get out the github API is that I've gone through and rendered/sanitized markdown for each file, and saved the rendered output in each file's 'rendered' key (check out the JSON)

For now, the reason that it uses JS is because I don't want to hold up the pageload while the server hits the github API. It's pointless though in the case where the rendered gist is already in the cache, see #23.
