alt Hacker NewsTrue! And Mozilla is one of the good guys.
What I should've said in my hastily written comment should have been: "and other implementations of the same (or other) functionality isn't divs and spans?"
I think my only true criticisms for Tailwind example would be:
- should've probably used h2/h3 for card titles. Though this is dependent on where and how the card is used
- should've done more with the meta (number / date). But in a real world these would probably still be spans (for example, to mark them in different colors etc.)
HTML doesn't have a card element. So when you create one, you... use whatever's available. And divs and spans in HTML+CSS literally exist to manipulate layout and text.
BTW, my favorite accessible card is this one: https://inclusive-components.design/cards/ And it's probably even more weird. Demo: https://heydon.github.io/Inclusive-Components/cards-redundan... (check the CSS also)
> HTML doesn't have a card element.
I feel like this is a bad example because “card” is a presentation thing, not a content thing. On a social media site, you can have cards with submissions, in which case <article> is the proper tag – and “card” is just a way to style the submission, so it deserves to be a class.
