jsDelivr?

I appreciate the response and did not mean to give the impression that credit was being stolen from the F-Droid site or the team.
The intent of the site is rather clear to anyone who is familar with, Fossdroid.com is a modern website with a cleaner way to browse Fdroid applications. I use your site over F-Droid's when I quickly want to see what has been newly added. For this, I thank you. I would rather F-Droid's resources go towards the application and catalog of applications.
My complaint is missing the spirit of F-Droid's mission by wrapping their open data with anti-features. Why are any analytics necessary for this site? Given F-Droid's stance on tracking, I am sure I am not the only user here that out right blocks Google Analytics with NoScript, DNS host blocking or other method. How valuable is this information when the users skew the numbers? The other issue is using the Google Storage CDN for Material Design Lite. Again, why not use an open source CDN alternative like CDNjs or jsdelivr; both provide Material Design Lite. A repository of Fossdroid.com's source of the site isn't as big of a deal as anyone can press ctrl-u, it is the idea and spirit of open source which F-Droid and this subReddit embrace.

Use a CDN? There are plenty of places on the internet that's hosting jQuery libraries. Here's a few:

Maybe try some online courses that give you a hands on approach. Codeacademy's course is linked on the sidebar.
You can link to a CDN that'll serve xCharts for you if your boss has concerns about hosting the javascript:
http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!xcharts
Aside from that, there's nothing to download, and this can all be done in sp designer (or even notepad if you were so inclined, doesn't really matter). Also, the js client object model is a standard API included with every sharepoint install.
