WDRL — Edition 235: Colorblind, Grid in IE, Service Worker Quota and Extending Native DOM Elements
13.7.2018
Hey,
The web continues to amaze me. With all its variety and different changes to the platform it’s hard to see a straight pattern, if there’s even (just) one. But it’s wonderful to see what is being changed, which features are added to the platform, which ones get deprecated, and how browsers...

Decorating lines of text with box-decoration-break
8.5.2018
An institution’s motto, an artist’s intro, a company’s tagline, a community’s principle, a service’s greeting… all of them have one thing in common: they’re one brief paragraph displayed on a website’s home page — or at least the about page!
It’s rare that just one word or one line of text...

WDRL — Edition 218: Storage Access, Service Worker Messaging, Securing GraphQL, And A Moral Compass
22.2.2018
Hey,
You know what? I think Service Worker is probably one of the misrepresented technology we currently have. When I hear people speaking about it, the topic is always serving your app when a user is offline. However, the technology can do so much more than that and every week I’m reading another...
