Comic of two people walking away from a warehouse store, one with a large cart of many boxes labeled with JavaScript toolchain tools, and another carrying a small box in his arms labeled HTML & CSS, with the former asking the latter a question about his choice. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to create web pages, one of the building blocks of the IndieWeb.

- "The more I look at #webdev as a not-full-time practitioner, the more I start to appreciate what I think of as the #indieweb position:
The basic document structure of the web is #HTML.
The basic layout engine is #CSS.
The more that a framework leverages these things directly--puts them in front of code authors and also expresses them clearly in its output, the better it is.
The more a framework hides or misrepresents them or doesn't engage with their semantics, the worse it is."

- "Of course, when I mention HTML and content, it should be understood with all the nuance that is implied, from well-structured and written content, image captions, accessibility parameters, tidy and well-structured syntax, not only responsive but adaptive data + microformats." @ludvikherrera February 4, 2022
