It was built with non-JS in mind. What you are referring to, however, is the flash of pre-JS styling. flow-menu should look fine in no-JS mode, because it's implemented with CSS only. Only older browsers require JS to make it work. However, I made some errors during the implementation, and exposed the more ugly version initially. This is something to be rectified.

I would not object to restoring permalink but I worry the list might
look rather empty without it. I'd rather we put effort into improving
UX. I doubt that would be too much work, but it needs design input and
prioritisation.
