A clean principle from stands out: let user experience decide which innovations belong on a site. Novelty that does not improve task success, clarity, or speed is noise — a point underlined by 's air-powered fishing-rod anecdote. Practical decisions matter more than clever demos.

Quick, actionable checklist:

  • Mobile-first layout and touch targets; set the viewport and test at real sizes.
  • Measure and improve core performance (Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint). See Web Vitals.
  • Make content reachable for everyone: semantic HTML, keyboard focus, and contrast. Follow WCAG guidance.
  • Use progressive enhancement: deliver usable content without heavy JS, then enhance where it helps.
  • Structure pages for search and sharing: canonical tags, clear URLs, and appropriate structured data. Google’s page-experience guidance ties many of these signals to ranking (see Page Experience).

Minimal example of two baseline tags every responsive page should include:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/this-page">

Practical cautions: do not optimize for a single score or a parade of flashy features. Run real-user tests on slow networks and with assistive tech. Remember ’s point about the early web: simplicity and speed were strengths then and still win now. Innovations worth keeping are those that make common tasks faster, clearer, or more reliable for actual people.

ya, well, somebody in Nova Scotia just invented an air powered fishing rod.

It takes a bit of getting used to but once you have it figured out, man does it cast.

It brings back memories from back in the day when the internet was not really user friendly - no GUI - pre Yahoo and pre Google. It was all text in a black screen and if you wanted to go to a site, you had to either know the address and telnet there and then go to different sub areas. Oh this is so early 90's - late 80s. hehe

Ya, and then came Internet Explorer 1.0 in Windows 3.11, oh that was something special. I remember throwing out my dot matrix printer around that time.
