I’ve been reading Jason Grigsby’s new book on progressive web apps this past week and it’s exciting. Jason explains what PWAs are and how they work while while doing a bang-up job covering the business case for using them them, too. But perhaps you might be thinking that a PWA isn’t necessary...

3.5.2019
Doména Stream.cz už neodvádí uživatele na samostatnou stránku videoserveru, ale přesměruje je do sekce Streamu na stránkách Televize Seznam. Seznam také před časem nahradil mobilní aplikace Streamu (i aplikaci pro chytré televize) aplikacemi TV Seznam. Portál tak pokračuje v integraci celé...
Split

Jeremy on the divide between the core languages of the web, and all the tooling that exists to produce code in those languages:

Two years ago, I wrote about prefers-reduced-motion, a media query introduced into Safari 10.1 to help people with vestibular and seizure disorders use the web. The article provided some background about the media query, why it was needed, and how to work with it to avoid creating...
Perceived Velocity through Version Numbers
30.4.2019
HTML5 and CSS3 were big. So big that they were buzzwords that actually meant something and were a massive success story in pushing web technology forward. JavaScript names their big releases now too: ES6, ES7, ES8... and it seems like it will keep going that way.

(This is a sponsored post.)
It's been interesting to watch Wix evolve from a website builder into a full-fledged platform for developing web applications. It's still just as easy for anyone to spin up a website with the visual builder that's always been there, but Wix Code was introduced a little...

Řada online map i navigací zobrazuje dopravní informace a údaje o průjezdnosti komunikací. Mapy Googlu tak například prezentují situaci v podobě barevných čar, kdy zelená značí volný průjezd, zatímco tmavě červená indikuje kolonu. Bing Mapy přicházejí s novinkou: chtějí svým uživatelům přinést
Moving from Gulp to Parcel
25.4.2019
Ben Frain just made some notes about the switch from Gulp to Parcel, a relatively new "web application bundler" which, from a quick look at things, is similar to webpack but without all the hassle of setting things up. One of the things I’ve always disliked about webpack is that you kinda have...
That Time I Tried Browsing the Web Without CSS
24.4.2019
CSS is what gives every website its design. Websites sure aren’t very fun and friendly without it! I’ve read about somebody going a week without JavaScript and how the experience resulted in websites that were faster, though certain aspects of them would not function as expected.
But CSS. Turning...

Inclusively Hidden
19.4.2019
Scott O'Hara recently published "Inclusively Hidden," a nice walkthrough of the different ways to hide things on the web. Nothing is ever cut and dry when it comes to the web! What complicates this is that hidden begs the question: hidden for whom? Different answers to that have different...
How to Get a Progressive Web App into the Google Play Store
19.4.2019
PWA (Progressive Web Apps) have been with us for some time now. Yet, each time I try explaining it to clients, the same question pops up: "Will my users be able to install the app using app stores?" The answer has traditionally been no, but this changed with Chrome 72 which shipped a new feature...
