WikipediaHere's how the "Ship of Theseus" page looked in July 2003 when it was first created! Since then, the article has been edited 1792 times. 0% of its original phrases remain.
@orkneydullard This looks really interesting and the art direction is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
@sarajw Partly true of gestures, for sure, but it's my general impression that navigating around a Mac is kind of hostile to keyboard. Particularly native apps and the OS. Like, Systems Preferences isn't easily keyboard navigable whereas Windows Control Panel is.
But that's really just a vibe, not backed by hard facts. I should probably go and try again because things might have improved or I might be misremembering 😅
@sarajw I used to primarily use keyboard before I switched to a Mac (because that's what new work gave me). I still do some keyboard navigation on the web after finding The Toggle, but not for much else because I find Mac makes keyboard use harder.

@slightlyoff I'm not saying that to justify using React, or that it's a faithful interpretation of the Service Standard. Just thought it might be helpful to know if you're researching this.
@slightlyoff @sturobson Can confirm it's not an official GDS thing (I don't work at GDS either, just happen to know that it isn't)
Also worth noting that the Service Standard (where the progressive enhancement edict comes from) is often seen as being primarily targeted at public-facing services, and things get much more... variable when it comes to websites built for internal staff (e.g. for doctors, not patients).
@sil How dare you try to leave the monetisable boundaries of our service?
