It’s JS Naked Day!
I’m participating in JS Naked Day with the hope of helping to promote the rule of least power
. This means that your browsing experience on this website during the 50 hours that make up JS Naked Day should be identical to one where you have disabled JavaScript in your browser.
This is an excellent exercise in making sure there is a clear separation of concerns between HTML for markup, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. I highly recommend trying it out and participating yourself!
Neil, this is both remarkably well-written and informative! I have to agree with all the points you’ve raised, particularly about the high barrier to entry for non-technical folks wanting to get on the Fediverse, but I think with posts like yours to help educate and on-board those people, we’re making some great strides. I’m anxiously awaiting Part 2!
