Yeah does every site need Gmail levels of complexity when simple HTML and a sprinkling of CSS will do the trick instead? There are people who disable JS for accessibility reasons and are locked out of reading certain text just because it requires JS. Then there’s the remarkable low effort of what’s put into the <noscript> tag. No description apart from the familiar: ‘This page requires Javascript’
- corrral 4y agoGmail doesn't even need gmail levels of complexity. The "basic HTML" version is already pretty good, and some very light extra javascript could easily cover what few gaps it has, no need for an SPA.
- lenkite 4y agoThe biggest crime - and I blame Google for this - is making basic web-components, even a Hello World mandatorily need Javascript. There was no need for mixing up web components with JS, except it didn't fit Google's agenda. Custom tags using HTML+CSS with no JS would have been utterly amazing for web fundamental development.
- tnzk 4y agoGenuine question from somewhat newbie in web components but afaik is JS required just for mounting a custom element, let alone its inside?
