Most of the web sites I visit on an average day require JavaScript to allow me to navigate the site fully. At least once a week there will be a web site that fails to fully load JavaScript for me and I'll (rage) quit the site and usually committing it to a bank of "web sites I can't be arsed to ever visit again because they messed up".

I could have written this. 👍

   Great article where Kitty shows how React helps providing N26 clients the features they're looking for even if they unfortunately have JavaScript issues.

   The layered approach of progressive enhancement echoes the separation of concerns in the front-end stack: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—each layer expressing more power. But while these concepts are related, they’re not interchangable. Separating out the layers of your tech stack isn’t necessarily progressive enhancement. If you have some HTML that relies on JavaScript to be useful, then there’s no benefit in separating that HTML into a separate payload. The HTML that you initially send down the wire needs to be functional (at least at a basic level) before the JavaScript arrives.

   If you’re going to build an image loader that hides the whole page until all images are ready, you must also ask yourself what if the images don’t arrive?
