That would require building 2 completely different apps that work completely differently.

There is no CSS, no resources that are loaded in, all the structure and style and everything is generated as it's needed so that the server does not need to parse and create pages that end up using and spending a lot of resources when under load. This way the server only gives the JSON data out and the website parses and generates everything.

Can't do that without Javascript, just like an Android or iOS app can't work without using a front end language to generate the view that you interact with.
