MODERATORS
A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that's easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
Simply something that loads instantly and just works?
Who would want that?
Found the backend dev. "CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE'RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!"
Frontend: "Come on, this needs at least some flair. This isn't the 90s."
Throws React at it
React ugh, everybody is using NextJs these da- ....oh, what's that? We've moved on already?
yeah, just css is enough.
you don't need js unless you need to fetch data dynamically.
you can do all of your animations, dropdowns and transitions in css.
like this menu i made. no js in sight.
