I guess the person who posted it checked out the URL that I have, and previously I indeed called it something like stop using modals.
The thing is that they are really OVERused. And right now I'm working on a project where we have modals inside modals and sometime even popup as a third layer. I cannot influence these decisions, but it's TOO much.
It's not only hard for users, it's hard for developers, when they have scroll issues, when they should update each other, when you should keep track of URL (what if user hits F5 or wants to share these...modal hell)
apparently <dialog>'s still needs some accessibility/interaction improvements to be a first-class solution, but it's getting there: https://nolanlawson.com/2022/06/14/dialogs-and-shadow-dom-ca...
I know this is just expressing my frustration into the void... but how does that even get past a professional review?
I've always been under the impression that best practices for modals is to never nest them, and/or never have multiples open at the same time because at that point you're effectively making a nesting doll UIX, or worse... creating a window manager in the browser.
Been seeing this happen more and more with the advent of the SPA - people jamming way too much functionality into modals because god forbid our users experience page navigation /s
It's so painful that I might even get of my ass and contribute, but knowing open source, it's equally likely that this is a politics problem, not a code problem.
