Considering browser usage and search engine bots in 2022, is it still useful and/or relevant to do Progressive Enhancement[1][2] in 2022 ?<p>Would you recommend a developer to implement his brand new website (or webapp) with this strategy ? Why ?<p>[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement<p>[2] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Progressive_Enhancement
JS is not optional in 2022. This will upset a lot of Gen Xers, but it's true.<p>"Do not exert meaningful effort building a website that can function without JS." is the advice I would give a developer trying to build a new site in 2022.
Progressive Enhancement will never not be relevant. If your web application doesn't work in Lynx over 56K dialup, then your application doesn't work. You <i>can</i> implement an app under these constraints if you use standard HTML forms and do all your processing server-side.
No hard and fast rule. JS should be treated as an embellishment. Know your audience too. If you’re doing a SPA your audience needs to be techie types. If your audience is everyone then make the site work without JS. If visitors need JS for some functions, state that with <noscript>
Progressive Enhancement in E N T E R P R I S E Q U A L I T Y "javascript" frameworks used in industry?<p>I am perfectly willing to believe this is implemented in industry and exists but I really don't believe in industry. I have heard of them. I have just never seen one.
whether a site is js heavy, spa, or txt served by nginx doesn’t matter. it doesn’t matter at all.<p>what matters is how the site feels to use on a mobile browser over cellular.<p>there are only two options:<p>- good<p>- annoying
