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.

    Thanks for responding. I’m not really a web dev, so I haven’t thought about it much.

    The tab layout and <div> examples were definitely not things I was thinking about. I guess that’s a good incentive to use tags like <section> and <article>` instead of divs with CSS classes.

    I’m actually a bit color blind myself, so I appreciate sites being high contrast and not relying on color alone for indicators. A surprising number of sites completely break when trying to zoom in and make text bigger too, which is often due to bad floating layouts. Especially if it’s resized with JS…
