HTML5 Boilerplate

Download the HTML5 Boilerplate template from the official website (https://html5boilerplate.com/). You can choose to download the standard or the enhanced version, depending on your needs.

The ol' HTML5 boilerplate project does favicons in three lines:

Also https://html5boilerplate.com might be good starting point.

Learn to a medium degree of proficiency HTML and CSS. Dig through something like the source code for https://html5boilerplate.com/ and try to understand why they're doing the things that they're doing. Learn Git and use it in practice. Even if you're just working on your own code.

Do you guys still use HTML5 Boilerplate when starting new projects? https://html5boilerplate.com/

2. Html Boilerplate

Wasn't this moved into Modernizr? There's a library I haven't thought of in a long time.

Oh, yep. There it is at the bottom:

> April 2011: IEPP v2 comes out. Modernizr and the html5shiv inherit the latest code. Meanwhile developers everywhere continue to use HTML5 elements in a cross-browser fashion without worry.

Paul Irish also started (or helped start) the html5 boilerplate project[1], which I am surprised to see is still actively being developed. I relied on that boilerplate for so many of my years of my early career (started full-time front-end in 2011). If you want another blast of nostalgia, check out the earlier releases[2,3] of it. I'm so happy I don't have to use conditional IE statements in my html anymore

VitePress and Docusaurus seem decent. I think VitePress might be more suited to blogging, but I admit I haven’t actually used or tested either.

VitePress 1.5

I don't get it (really, not pretending). I know many SPAs are crap, but if SPAs were inherently crap, then all SPAs would be at least kind of crap.

So, I see those website below as examples and ask myself: What's wrong with those:

https://vitepress.dev/

https://www.solidjs.com/

Both are SPAs. Fast, small, working very well.

Ok, they need JS to work. But honestly, how many people are not using JS because they can't (as opposed to because they don't want to). And how many have so low end devices that running the JS is a problem? People watching videos all day on their smartphones. So, the days where processing JS for creating the DOM is a problem are over. Esp. if using fast frameworks like Solid, Preact, Vue or Svelte.

Of course there're website that load 20 MB JS of analytics and spyware. Those are slow not because they're SPAs but because they do all this additional (of course unwanted) stuff. Also accessibility issues are not caused by using SPAs or not. Svelte even has accessibility warnings built-in.
