Thanks for offering! A JS rewrite would be potentially even easier to maintain than link types - easy to turn off again if we don't like it - easy to switch instances by making a change in one place A small paradox is that it would not make the alternative (proprietary-JS-free) links available precisely to those who won't enable JS in the browser at all and would stand to benefit from them. A rewrite could go at least two ways: 1. Single links with an option where to go when you click them - annoying if asked every time, would need a cookie 2. Additional links side by side - more clutter, less clicks/cookies Which did you have in mind? Worg so far has very minimal JS, and zero cookies that I know of. Regards, Christian
