Outstanding. A remarkable effort.

Your thinking may align with mine. You can read more about mine at my website, Craft Code, if curious.

I am particularly impressed that you stuck to vanilla code and didn't rush to React or similar; that you managed 100% across the board on Lighthouse and zero errors on axe DevTools (at AAA WCAG 2.2, no less); and that your code, at first glance, appears to conform to semantic HTML and best practies.

You must have put a lot of thought into this.

So, wow! Welcome to coding! We need more like you. I hope you can maintain this "keep it simple" approach, not adding unnecessary frills or pointless dependencies (as at least one commenter has suggested), and using the built-in Web APIs fully. As Arthur Quiller-Couch said, "murder your darlings".

Will try to keep an eye on your work.

Can't thank you enough your comment really motivated me to put more effort, and more importantly I knew I'm on the right path. I like your methodologies and It's what I've wanted to achieve and was in doubt I might be wrong because I see over-complicated websites everywhere.
I'm so happy for knowing about your amazing ideas and for your valuable time ❤️

You're very welcome. Keep up the excellent work.

It does often astonish me how many devs seem to be unclear on the subject. The point of programming is to simplify complex problems, breaking them down into simpler and simpler pieces until they can be easily understood and solved. Yet many devs seem to be obsessed with complicating everything they touch.

I tend to think it's a "boys and their toys" situation – and it is clearly a masculine trait – this love of "techy" solutions. I like tech, too, but I take the opposite approach: start as simple as possible and avoid adding anything not truly necessary: YAGNI.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. And happier still if there are things you can teach me!

Cheers!

I totally agree with you.

I've also checked your linkedin profile and got overwhelmed by your great work and more importantly your good effect on people around you (I read the reviews section) I'm so happy to know about such a great person like you.

You inspired me a lot and I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you.

Thank you!
