Earlier this week, I wrote about how I’m building a UI library for people who love HTML. I also published a YouTube video about it.
I got a lot of excited responses and comments about it, but also a noteworthy handful asking something along the lines of this…
People should not be prioritizing no-JS users. No one turns off JavaScript.
Today, I wanted to talk about why that’s wrong, and why you should care about the no-JS experience.
Well, I suspected this might be the case - since I have never worked somewhere the functionality is actually end user tested - only worked with some accessibility “experts” for a short while that just made sure the code ticks the right boxes. I somehow hoped the state of the technology rendering the HTML code and the state of WAI ARIA was better, but it seems not to be the case.
