That may be the rub.  The installation and update process is... well, let's 
just say it
gives me fits and I spent a non-trivial amount of time working out the 
procedure.  Suffice
it to say that I think quite poorly indeed of composer and yarn, and really 
don't think
that there needs to be a software build process for a webapp written in PHP.

I normally interact with PartDB-server using Chrome (on my work laptop) or 
Firefox (on my
personal machine).  I don't have any older browsers (and I'm not sure what you 
mean by
that, specifically - old-school Netscape v4.x?) so I can't speak to that.  What 
I can
speak to, however, is text mode.  Loading my install in Lynx shows a somewhat 
bewildering
version of the UI and the ever helpful message "Please activate Javascript to 
use all
features," which I think pretty much says it all.  I'm not able to do anything 
meaningful
with it from Lynx, even after logging in.

Don't be mean. You don't have to be mean.
