Lazy load embedded YouTube videos

20.8.2019
This is a very clever idea via Arthur Corenzan. Rather than use the default YouTube embed, which adds a crapload of resources to a page whether the user plays the video or not, use the little tiny placeholder webpage that is just an image you can click that is linked to the YouTube embed. It still...

The Differing Perspectives on CSS-in-JS

14.8.2019
Some people outright hate the idea of CSS-in-JS. Just that name is offensive. Hard no. Styling doesn't belong in CSS, it belongs in CSS, a thing that already exists and that browsers are optimized to use. Separation of concerns. Anything else is a laughable misstep, a sign of not learning from...

Using Netlify Forms and Netlify Functions to Build an Email Sign-Up Widget

2.8.2019
Building and maintaining your own website is a great idea. Not only do you own your platform, but you get to experiment with web technologies along the way. Recently, I dug into a concept called serverless functions, starting with my own website. I’d like to share the results and what I learned...

Datalist is for suggesting values without enforcing values

26.7.2019
Have you ever had a form that needed to accept a short, arbitrary bit of text? Like a name or whatever. That's exactly what <input type="text"> is for. There are lots of different input types (and modes!), and picking the right one is a great idea. But this little story is about something...

Zoom, CORS, and the Web

23.7.2019
It's sorta sad by funny that that big Zoom vulnerability thing was ultimately related to web technology and not really the app itself. There is this idea of custom protocols or "URL schemes." So, like gittower:// or dropbox:// or whatever. A native app can register them, then URLs that hit them...

How I Created a Code Beautifier in Two Days

19.7.2019
I recently drew up a wireframe for a code beautifier. The next day, I decided to turn it into a real tool. The whole project took less than two days to complete. I'd been thinking about building a new code beautifier for a while. The idea isn't unique, but every time I use someone else's tool,...

Singapore Mulls a New Idea How to Boost Crypto Adoption

8.7.2019
In a recently published e-Tax draft guide, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) proposed the exemption of certain cryptocurrency transactions from GST (goods and services tax). To be precise, the draft is created with a goal to explain “the GST treatment for transactions involving...

Cuba ‘Studies’ Cryptocurrencies, Expert Floats Cent’l Asia Crypto Idea

4.7.2019
The Cuban government says it is “studying the use” of cryptocurrencies in an effort to boost the country’s flagging economy as American-led sanctions continue to bite. The United States has ramped up sanctions against Cuba in recent months, with tourism and educational travel bans, as well as...

Toast

3.7.2019
One day, all the sudden, I started hearing jokes about toast. I had no idea what the context was. I assumed some friends just got started telling toast jokes, which isn't rare by any means. But it turns out it was a whole thing. It got me thinking, jeez, if I can't keep up with this stuff when it's...

Nownownow

28.6.2019
Matthias Ott, relaying an idea he heard from Derek Sivers: Many personal websites, including this one here, have an “about” page. It’s a page that tells you something about the background of a person or about the services provided. But what this page often doesn’t answer – and neither do Twitter...

Render Snarky Comments in Comic Sans

25.6.2019
Hilarious idea by Zach Leatherman. To test if a comment is "snarky" or not, there is an npm package up to the task. On this site, we generally just delete snarky comments, but I still run a WordPress plugin that allows me to "feature" or "bury" comments. It's old but it still works fine in...

Designing with Motifs

10.6.2019
I love the way Erik Kennedy talks about digital design. Very practical and understandable. Have a listen to a chat with him we had on ShopTalk. One of his latest blog posts is titled "The #1 Way to Spice Up Your Designs (And Create a More Cohesive Brand)" and it's about something he pegs as more...

Self-Host Your Static Assets

5.6.2019
Harry Roberts digs into why hosting assets on someone else’s servers (including CDNs) is not such a great idea if we want our websites to be lightning fast. Harry writes: One of the quickest wins—and one of the first things I recommend my clients do—to make websites faster can at first seem...

How Crypto-Based Microfinance Benefits Small Businesses

27.5.2019
Starting your own business isn’t easy given the reluctance of banks to grant credit. Gone are the days when a compelling business plan would be enough to have the branch manager shaking your hand and bankrolling your venture. For entrepreneurs in developing nations, where even obtaining...

These Tourist Destinations Welcome Bitcoin Cash Enthusiasts

25.5.2019
Spending during the holiday season should be easy but borders, physical and financial, often complicate matters. A world currency that can travel with you and is widely accepted sounds like a good idea. Among cryptocurrencies, bitcoin cash is an ideal candidate, with its low fees and instant...

What Does it Mean to Be “Full Stack”?

21.5.2019
I was asked this recently by a fellow developer who was at the same web tech conference I was at. This developer had met a lot of new people who literally introduced themselves as full-stack developers sort of the way Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration would on The Office, but it was Tony Frank...

Our Value of Money Is Subjective But That Doesn’t Make It Meaningless

14.5.2019
In my last op-ed, I discussed how the value we place on items and goods is subjective based on Carl Menger’s Subjective Theory of Value and how these concepts apply to people’s perception of value with things like fiat, gold, and bitcoin. The post outlined the idea that money cannot...
