If Java Script is disabled the only thing visible is the loader instead of basic text

[nathanbiller]

I'm not sure if it's possible to fail elegantly? I don't expect things to look good if javascript is disabled, but I would still like users to be able to access the content.

Displaying an error message such as:

"This site requires javascript..."

Would help.

I figured out a much more accessible workaround for the preloader that I will submit a PR for at some point.

The theme adds a js class to the body tag when JavaScript is enabled, so add .js before the #preloader and #status ids in the _utils.scss file. Then update the corresponding Preloader jQuery selectors in the fresh.js file. This will ensure the styles for the preloader divs are only loaded when JavaScript is enabled, otherwise they stay set as display:none.

Awesome, @sk33lz !

@sk33lz any chance you could get back to this, or even just post a diff of what worked for you here?

I got sidetracked by a newborn this year on my personal sites! I will try to put together a PR before the new year with the relevant changes.
