I do sometimes wonder how many of the critics have only ever worked on Angular frontends and such. The frontend for my little site https://bongo.to doesn't use Node or NPM at all. Just a script tag, like you said. It's very simple and easy to use JS this way, and I wish people would learn to do this before learning how to write a SPA in the framework du jour.
you can run it with the `npx` command if you didn't want to install it. another way, which is the one I'm using here, is via the VSCode plugin. enabling the "format on save" option with prettier as the default formatter will format any file it can, which is very handy!
