I think when they killed Google Reader is when I realised that I don't want to count on Google any more.

There is javascript for progressive enhancement on some pages. E.g. submitting comments on tickets by pressing Ctrl+Enter, or selection of ranges of lines in git blob view.

For example: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut.org/tree/master/conten...

But everything is designed to work well without JS first.

I've been contributing to [sr.ht](https://meta.sr.ht/) for a while, which is a commercial project but fully open source, so any work I put in is beneficial to others. Additionally, Drew (owner/author) has proven himself a prolific open source contributor so I have no problem in donating some of my time to his projects since I know it will all be paid back via his work on this and other projects.

The project is still pretty young so it's easy to jump in and add some polish or implement new features you'd like to have.

IMO, jQuery is still very usable for all the "almost static" web sites out there. Sure there are smaller and arguably better options out there, but there's no harm in using it if you're used to it.

I don't see why it being old is an inherent problem.
