Enjoy the ice-cream then! 😉🤣

I am glad you enjoyed it and although it was a silly article I hope a couple of the points were useful!

The argument regarding the screen reader is a valid point in my opinion.
Never thought about it.

Tip 8 is a very good example of not overdoing it with emojis. I like this.

Tip 1 reminds me of the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle. The only difference is that in this case I would call it DRI (don't repeat immediately). Ok, I'm not very serious about defining a new principle here, but I enjoy messing around with thoughts :D. And you seem like a person who can handle some stupid jokes :).

From my point of view, your article has added value, otherwise I would not have liked it and shared it on Twitter ;).

Bonus question(you don`t have to answer):
What does the unicorn mean?

Nobody knows the exact meaning of the unicorn! But the idea is that it is a second like button so if you think an article is good, give it a heart, if you think it is outstanding / excpetional add a unicorn as well.

In the algorithm for ranking articles they have the same weighting so it is "like" and "like" effectively!

p.s. DRI - I think it could catch on! Stored it for future use and I will "try it out" and see if some people start using it! 🤣
