It's a very good website. Fast, simple UX, no JavaScript and focused on content.

Far more size efficient than anything my Frontend dev team writes. A Docker image to build a React app we have was 6GB. (“Its not our fault its NPM”)

And the content is informative too!

Totally agree with you. Not a front end dev myself, and I have multiple variations of "how do i center a div" in my search history, haha. With varying degrees of angry expletives added to the query.

Kids these days don’t know how easy they have it with flexbox!

So that’s why some devs can somehow still manage to make flexbox layouts difficult :D

HTML is such a great abstraction and syntax. I wonder if the same 7 year old would be able to (or have the attention) to learn something like React? Probably not.

Maybe we should be testing our interfaces and API's with 7 year olds from now on. If they can't or won't use it, its probably a good signal the design is wrong.

Seriously, thank you so much for sharing this! It brought a much needed smile to my face this morning.

Please tell your daughter that Ben really liked it and his favorite page was the dogs page. Question for her: Is that a picture of your dog? Does the dog have a name?

Who needs Flexbox's inscrutable 1-dimension language when you can use ASCII diagrams in CSS Grid for clever 2D things easily? CSS Grid Kids are truly spoiled.

Flexbox, grid. You're all forgetting the best way to build layouts: ol' reliable, .

As used on HN. It just works, even today.
