  1. html5-boilerplate

    A professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.

    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

  3. html5shiv

    This script is the defacto way to enable use of HTML5 sectioning elements in legacy Internet Explorer.

    Wonder no more. It's in the readme! https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv#why-is-it-called-a-shiv
