Earlier this week, I wrote about how I’m building a UI library for people who love HTML. I also published a YouTube video about it. I got a lot of excited responses and comments about it, but also a noteworthy handful asking something along the lines of this… People should not be prioritizing no-JS users. No one turns off JavaScript. Today, I wanted to talk about why that’s wrong, and why you should care about the no-JS experience.

    People should not be prioritizing no-JS users. No one turns off JavaScript.

    If you keep the JS to a minmum, you have

    1. less work maintining that shit, HTML/CSS is patient
    2. better user experience

    So much forms and textboxes don’t save content anymore after a reload, because it’s dynamically loaded from somewhere or even a <div> frame handled entirely by JS. Buttons/Checkboxes that don’t work, it’s sad.
