the inspirers of everything beautiful in the world: the Motorhead. Also inspirers of this clean way of doing web design

No Class, pure HTML only

Shut up, you talk too loud
You don't fit in with the crowd
I can't believe you exist
I've crossed you right off my list

Too much, too soon
You're way out of tune

No class, no class

Motorhead, No Class

This song is about fake people who try to conform to the crowd instead of being themselves.

This article is about those HTML tags that think they're more easily identifiable if they have a label. But class isn't something you can buy with money. To have it, you need years and kilometers. You need to have traveled far, seen many projects, made many mistakes, found new solutions every time.

This space wants to carry forward this philosophy. I know that sometimes I use custom attributes that at first glance might seem worse than classes. But attributes have semantic meaning, not just stylistic.

Seeing an HTML structure this clean is a breath of fresh air.

Form follows function, there are no arbitrary decorations.

Everything is functional to the experience.
