You don't need JavaScript for that - HTMHell

I used to be html and css-first, and to some degree I still am, but the advantages of SPA, lazy load, hot reload, and automatic state management and Dom rendering of a JS based framework are just too awesome to forego for the sake of staying native.

• In Chromium and Safari mobile (tested through appetize.io), I don't like how similar it is to a select:

Somewhat liked Chrome's implementation in Android:

I'm fond of the site motif
