Curious to know what you all think:

Does the indie web re-open the doors for techniques that are less used these days, such as left hand nav, iframe/table layouts, etc?

I know you can build whatever you want but there are also requirements around accessibility, performance, etc. that never used to be a factor.

@jackmcconnell Why does the indie web have these accessibility/performance requirements and not other sites?

I don’t understand the question.

@ross There are laws in place that require a level of accessibility. These didn’t exist in the 90s which seems to be a big influence in the indie web scene.

@jackmcconnell Ah. You’re comparing modern indie web with personal sites from the 90s.

I thought you were comparing modern indie web to other modern sites.

I would say that modern dev techniques enable these improvements. You shouldn’t have to go back to older ways to achieve the requirements.
