10 rare HTML tags that nobody ever uses

There’s way more to HTML than <div>, <a>, and <p>.

So many more sophisticated and powerful tags that you’ve probably never used.

From modern list visualization to 🎨 colorful highlights, let’s look at 10 little-known but capable HTML tags.

1. abbr

The <abbr> tag defines an abbreviation or acronym, like HTML, CSS, and JS.

How to earn full or side income as a freelance developer in 2024

Don’t waste your time cold applying to job listings.

Your success rate will be painfully low after all that time invested. There is a better way that many never use.

Smaller niche makes you the big fish in a small pond — less jobs but standing out takes far less time.

Example: “Next.js developer, implements social media integrations into web apps”. Super specific.

If you’re just starting without much experience, start small. Then you can slowly broaden your niche as you gain experience and social proof.
