> Write the ugliest HTML you want
Writing correct HTML helps people using screen readers because they can navigate a page using the descriptive HTML elements. In fact, writing correct HTML is probably the simplest and easiest thing to do when it comes to creating a web page. It's CSS that's needlessly complicated and unpredictable.
- bitexploder 9y agoIf you want to write web apps, save the HTML for last. When you are writing apps for yourself you write just what you need. That is what I am saying. Functional HTML first. It's not hard to write plain looking but very good UX. I think we are agreeing. I meant write stuff that works but is not fancy and avoid the big JS frameworks.
- open-source-ux 9y agoYes, I agree. Sometimes (maybe often?) plain HTML and CSS with a little bit of Javascript (and server-side logic) works perfectly fine for many "web apps". It can even be faster (and simpler) than downloading all the app logic and a fat Javascript library to the client.
