1 | Better defaults
2 | =================
3 |
4 | The story is always the same:
5 | * Someone creates software that works without too much attention to the details (because at the beginning perfect is the enemy of the good)
6 | * People use it, get used to it
7 | * If a default behavior is not the best default, the software creator is posed with a dilemma
8 | * Break the current default behavior and suffer from [frustrated users](https://xkcd.com/1172/)
9 | * Keep the current behavior and propose an optional better one.
10 |
11 | The repo is a list of code and configuration files that try to promote better defaults by listing and documenting them.
12 |
13 | # CSS
14 |
15 | Preferably used inlined before any other CSS file/<style>.
