Oh, dear hand-crafters of #HTML, welcome to the dystopian future where front-end dev is a convoluted mess of 🤖 build tools, labyrinthine frameworks, and server-side sorcery.

Did you know that you can make cool, interactive modal windows without JavaScript? I used this guide ( https://dev.to/maxprilutskiy/creating-modal-windows-with-pure-css-no-javascript-required-1ja ) along with some modifications of my own to overhaul my links and logs pages recently.
