“#HTMLFirst” is a fantastic mindset, but https://html-first.com is a disappointment and a distraction.

Not once does that website suggest that #HTML should be #valid (to even constitute HTML), #semantic, or #accessible.

But HTML First thinking starts with actual HTML, used according to purpose, accessible to everyone.

That’s the “HTML First” we need.

(I’m cooking a book about that kind of HTML First, but it’s too early to make announcements.)
