After you've written the application? That makes absolutely no sense, unless you enjoy renaming lots of elements.

It's not vague, there is an actual international standard... WCAG!

According to WCAG 2.0, yes I am.

You deserve downvotes. Semantic HTML is a key part of making your website accessible for people with disabilities. Ignore it, and you shouldn't be making things for the web.

Browsers don't care. You may not care either. But people with disabilities attempting to make sense of your website do, very much so.

There's absolutely no reason __not__ to use semantic HTML, and many reasons to do so.

Easier to whine on HackerNews.

I _think_ that's ironic

This looks promising, animations in React are a bit of a mess right now.

React-motion requires a PhD to figure out, and I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than use Transition Group.

I have had some moderate success with Popmotion, although I've also seen performance issues when staggering lists (likely down to my implementation rather than the library, but still).

No PaaS provider costs their DB instances on number of selects...

This website looks like it was made in 2000.
What am I looking at? I've pressed pretty much everything and nothing happens.
