If you think about it, the HTML <abbr> tag is not that well thought out. Or rather, inconsistent interpretations of the title attribute on different displays limits <abbr> usefulness.

Sure, conditional media types allow auto expanding the title on touch or print displays.

But many semantic elements have similar quirks that are only noticeable with a good cross browser/display testing suite, which no one has btw.

Surprising quirky behaviour + real world “get it done now” business constraints = everything’s a <div> and/or a <span>.

Blade CLI is a nice find. I saw a past iteration of this a while back in nsrosenqvist/blade-cli. Basically, it’s a cli for kinda rendering blade templates. Don’t ask why…

name: {{ $name }}
type: {{ $type }}

blade render data.yaml --name="name" --type="type"

Htmx is a nice library to know about that makes frontend = backend. Include strategic js (htmx.js) to not write any more js and compose an interactive website/application in HTML only. Use your favorite back end to create routes that return partial HTML that is swapped in on event triggers (transclusion).

Ngl, most of the fastest web spas I’ve seen were using nuxt.js. Performant react web applications are rare… But honestly, the usability of the web overall is in the gutter. I’ve spent these last few days watching people frustrate themselves over broken web application forms (for banks especially).
