Distribution

This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off Western Australia.

gollark: I mean, webapps are a thing which exists, but a lot of sites... aren't that, and just need to render some text and images.
gollark: (always)
gollark: Also, I have a perfectly good solution for much of the modern internet: just don't use JS and switch to plain CSS/HTML. You do not actually need it.
gollark: If I were designing it *from scratch*, I think I would mostly just put in an existing programming language (Lua!) with coherent design, design the APIs more coherently and asynchronously, fix the cross-origin security model from the start, that sort of thing.
