HTML is over 29 years old today. You must have used it in many projects during your career.

Perhaps the first time was modifying MySpace or some 90s/2000s social media site.

It's used for laying out pages, adding buttons or building whole UIs. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera all implement some latest standard of HTML.

What's your biggest issue with HTML today in 2022? What's the one big thing you would change? Which of your needs are not being met with HTML as it is today?

As a software startup, how do you calculate sales tax in all the countries where your customers are?

And then, how do you pay sales tax to governments of all of those countries?

My question comes from the fact that on our website, customers can sign up from any country. Calculating and paying tax in an unknown number of different countries seems to be more complicated than building our product.

*specifically asking about sales tax + new 'digital' taxes. How do you deal with that?
