Emcee Tips for a Conference or Meetup


There are some great resources out there to help conference speakers give better talks, but fewer for people who are preparing to take on the role of emcee at meetup or conference. I've been fortunate enough to emcee conferences more than 20 times now, most recently JAMstack_conf which I help...

Variations on Theme: Reinventing Type on the Web


If anyone knows anything about me, it’s usually one of two things: that I have two outrageously fluffy dogs, or that I like fonts and typography. Like, really really like them. So while I am super excited about how well Tristan is doing with his hydrotherapy —we’re walking 50% further than he...

Getting Started with GraphQL

Six Months Using Firebase Web Performance Monitoring


I don't really think of Firebase as a performance monitoring tool (all I ever think about is auth and real-time data storage), but nevertheless, it totally has that feature. Justin Ribeiro... [A] tool to track what real users in the wild are experiencing with an easy setup? Yes, please. [...]...

The Communal Cycle of Sharing


What I'm interested in this year is how we're continuing to expand on tools, services, and shared side projects to collectively guide where we take the web next, and the way we're sharing that. So many other mediums—mostly analog ones—have been around for ages and have a deeper history. In...

The Kind of Development I Like


I'm turning 40 next year (yikes!) and even though I've been making websites for over 25 years, I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand the kind of development I like.

The Department of Useless Images


Gerry McGovern: The Web is smothering in useless images. These clichéd, stock images communicate absolutely nothing of value, interest or use. They are one of the worst forms of digital pollution because they take up space on the page, forcing more useful content out of sight. They also slow down...

Finally, it Will Be Easy to Change the Color of List Bullets


In my germinating years, the general advice was this: <ul> <li><span>List item</span></li> <!-- ... --> </ul> li { color: red; } /* bullet */ li span (color: black; } /* text */ Not terrible, but not great. You're "resetting" everything...

Crypto Banks Gain Regulatory Recognition Across the Globe

If you are searching for an alternative bundler to webpack, you might want to take a look at FuseBox. It builds on what webpack offers — code-splitting, hot module reloading, dynamic imports, etc. — but code-splitting in FuseBox requires zero configuration by default (although webpack will offer...

Will Bears Continue to Take A Dig at VeChain (VET)?


VeChain price did not have a good start to the year, and the price was below the baseline. The price started picking up in April and reached its peak in July. With the onset of the bearish trend, it was downhill for the price and has been below the baseline ever since. The YTD price … The...
