What it does

In this we take a look at the power of modern native HTML and CSS as well as some of the syntactic sugar of Sass. Because, you might not need scripts for that task at all

Examples of common UI elements and interactions with HTML and CSS alone.

JavaScript is great, and by all means use it, while also being aware that you can build so many functional UI components without the additional dependancy. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, or a mixin, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with. This site is fully copied from youmightnotneedjquery.com , an excellent resource for vanilla JavaScript created by @adamfschwartz and @zackbloom . But this time, we take a look at the power of modern native HTML and CSS as well as some of the syntactic sugar of Sass. Because, you might not need scripts for that task at all!
