The Design System Ecosystem
It depends on the level of contribution.
You can contribute by responding to the discussions in the backlog[0], by improving the actual distributed styles and code[1] or suggesting improvements to the documentation in the link I posted above.
Bigger changes need to be backed up with user research, evidence of user needs and accessibility reviews and checks.

Can we at least modernize visually hidden?
However looking at the samples with modern browsers I was unable to see the overflow issue. So it might now be entirely possible that setting negative margin is not required anymore. And it happens to actually be harmful: negative margin can change the reading order in VoiceOver!

The Gov.uk Design System is now live
This is wonderful!
For me, accessibility has always been kind of an afterthought. Not because I don't think it's important but because I don't really have the knowledge of best practices. I hope someone creates a generator for it because I would easily make this my standard front-end for all new projects.

Evaluating accessibility
If for example we are using an external package, we will need to work out if the issue is already documented, or if it is something new. With the GOV.UK frontend we would raise this on GitHub.

🤓 My top 3 Go packages that I wish I'd known about earlier
✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

Htmx Is Composable?
> But honestly, torn towards htmx but undecided.
We are in the middle of migrating from our monster react application into server rendered pages (with jinja2). The velocity at which we are able to ship and the reduction of complexity has been great so far.
Managing client side state for simple things like (is the dropdown open/closed), listening to keyboard events and such can be done with something like alpine-js [1] without all the baggage that something like react brings.
It appears this is already the trend with JS frameworks too - with server side rendering being the new norm.

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
Sure, you can use any number of JS-avoidance libraries. I'm a fan of Turbo, and there's also htmx, Unpoly, Alpine, hyperscript, swup, barba.js, and probably others.

Kicking the tires with NestJS and Hotwire: Part II
If you want more details on the initial setup I encourage you to take a look at the Part I that covers more of the initial implementation. For this portion, I added Prisma as an ORM, a frontend style library called Tachyons, and AlpineJS to handle any client-side interactions. I did this to avoid needing to add a client-side bundler to the build and instead just rely on plain old module imports to compose the frontend. This is now the default for Rails and it is quite nice to not need any additional build tools for the client.

A First Look at HTMX and How it Compares to React
The approach is not new, essentially a variation of Knockout, Alpine, and similar "JS-in-HTML" approaches.

What's the easiest front end framework to pick for a simple website?
You're way out of the "simple website" territory already, If your backend is working and you know your way around it just make it render some HTML and send it to the browser. Then if you really want a javascript framework for interactive elements maybe alpineJS ?
What are some alternatives?
Svelte - Cybernetically enhanced web apps
petite-vue - 6kb subset of Vue optimized for progressive enhancement
htmx - </> htmx - high power tools for HTML
React - The library for web and native user interfaces.
Stimulus - A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have [Moved to: https://github.com/hotwired/stimulus]
hyperscript - Create HyperText with JavaScript.
jQuery - jQuery JavaScript Library
knockout - Knockout makes it easier to create rich, responsive UIs with JavaScript
