Developing modals using only CSS and the Popover API
Modals once had a bad reputation because they were so complicated to build from scratch. They were often buggy and had terrible usability, not to mention the many accessibility requirements that had to be met.
🛰️ Fun Fact
*****"Undo" Feature - A Happy Accident***** - Ever made a mistake while typing and been saved by the "undo" button? You can thank a programmer's typo for that! Back in the 1970s, a computer scientist named Warren Teitelman accidentally deleted a bunch of code and wished he could reverse it. This frustration inspired him to create the first "undo" function, which has become a staple in almost every application we use today. So, next time you undo a mistake, remember it was a happy accident that made our digital lives a lot easier!
