The inspiration's only skin deep. No discussion functionality and most importantly, doesn't work without javascript.

My apologies for the confusion ans the fact I wasn't clear enough with what I meant with inspiration. In the sport/ gym world a large majority of the articles are superficial and try to lure you in with click bait titles. For me (with a not as deep knowledge and background in software as the community here which is abundantly clear) I am a long time HN lurker because of the fact it goes against this. Against the instant gratification and towards quality content. Thanks for your feedback!

I know you posted them all, but the articles on there are exactly the kind I’d like to see as a user of HN. Looking forward to seeing a comment feature in the future if possible.

No discussion is a big negative for me

I agree with this comment. I would personally very much like to see some talk about given links. However, I believe it would decrease the quality down. Yes, Hackernews has this; but there are really well-informed people here and active. It is not the same with fitness world.

Why do you say there are no well informed people in the fitness world?

If you go over to /r/fitness there are some active and well informed people, so I'd have to disagree with you.

Yeah, but nowadays what doesn't work without javascript...

Such a simple site should work without. It's basically a list of links.

Depends on the demographic. I don’t know that we can say what it should or shouldn’t do without data. Why should it work without JS

Even the new (2018+) version of Reddit displays content without requiring JS.

Pagination is only broken because the returned HTML doesn't have prev/next links, but they could be trivially added (and hidden when JS is on).

Lots of things don't work without javascript (I assume you meant to ask what does work without javascript), but HN, for example, does work without javascript.

I think you meant least importantly.
