I think it’s less about being able to spend the money (of course you can) than needing to spend it.

Do you really need a 100-million yacht and a 20-bedroom villa? No.

There’s a solution to this problem: https://github.com/sindresorhus/hide-files-on-github

Additionally, your OS probably already natively hides files that start with a dot, so this is just a UI problem.

Please don’t “solve” this issue by moving files to a sub-directory. If anything, only leave non-config files there, it’s the obvious simple solution that most projects follow anyway.

I recently dropped my last shared hosting in favor of Vercel/Netlify and some content was lost. This solution wouldn’t work for me because the very reason why the content was lost is that I don’t want to pay for hosting I barely use.

A better solution would be an intermediary part that never changes — say, CloudFlare — that caches HTML pages forever, automatically adds a “Archived content” header to the page, and warns the author so that they can either allow the archived version or make it a 404/410 instead.

Nobody wants to maintain servers forever, but serving static/frozen pages is much easier and cheaper.

WordPress does this by default and that’s the most common platform to date. I’d dare to say that most websites have those attributes, but most SPAs don’t, because that’s too hard.

The attributes are overridden by CSS. You should have:

    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;

What the other user is talking about is a new feature that FINALLY uses the attributes to preserve the ratio before the image starts loading.

Kinda ridiculous that we had to wait 8 years of “responsive design” before they realized that this was always supposed to happen.

I hope you don't use that since it randomly returns either an element or a list of elements, so you'd have to also add an if/else every time you use it.

This is my go-to:

    const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);
    const $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

Tip: browser consoles already have these shortcuts, except $$ returns an actual array there instead of a NodeList.

It's up to you to chose reasonable modules by reasonable developers. Notice I didn't call it a library, it's a 1kb module that has the code from the example + fixes you'd want anyway.

I would never recommend copy-pasting this code into your project:

https://htmldom.dev/copy-text-to-the-clipboard

I get "trying to stay vanilla", but any reasonably-common snippet should either be installed from npm or published there.

For this specific issue there's a module named almost exactly the same and it restores the previous selection and focus as well: https://github.com/sindresorhus/copy-text-to-clipboard/blob/...

This is the point of published modules: your code isn't stuck into the version someone wrote in 10 minutes 5 years ago.
