Ask HN: Good resource on writing web app with plain JavaScript/HTML/CSS?
Some of these responses… wow.<p>Using modern HTML and CSS will get you pretty far these days.<p>For example, dealing with forms used to be problematic in a few different ways without JavaScript or something server-side.<p>Now form validation can be done with CSS [1].<p>For example, static site hosts like Netlify have services for dealing with the form data [2]. 100 free form submissions per month.<p>I agree that tooling is out of control. Jekyll [3] is great for getting started with building static sites. When using Jekyll, my build tool of choice is a Makefile [4].<p>[1]: <a href="https://webkit.org/blog/13096/css-has-pseudo-class/#styling-form-states-without-js" rel="nofollow">https://webkit.org/blog/13096/css-has-pseudo-class/#styling-...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.netlify.com/products/forms/" rel="nofollow">https://www.netlify.com/products/forms/</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://jekyllrb.com/" rel="nofollow">https://jekyllrb.com/</a><p>[4]: <a href="https://blog.mads-hartmann.com/2016/08/20/make.html" rel="nofollow">https://blog.mads-hartmann.com/2016/08/20/make.html</a>
