Static web – back to the roots?

Admittedly just bikeshedding, but the author is using a blockquote tag instead of an h2/h3 right under the h1 title for the summary of the article. Makes me think he probably doesn’t have that firm of a grasp on the fundamentals of semantical HTML and markdown, let alone web development in general.

This is, by the way, something I see a lot out in the wild, especially in Medium articles but also in READMEs on GitHub. Please stop using blockquote tags for emphasis purposes.

The lede is not a heading, why should the author use an <h*>?

I see your point, an h* would probably also be inappropriate. What would you use? Just a normal p tag with some styling?

`role="heading"`?

no, that's the same as <hX>

I'd probably go with just a styled text, maybe with an aria-label.
