Using Markdown and Localization in the WordPress Block Editor
23.9.2020
If we need to show documentation to the user directly in the WordPress editor, what is the best way to do it?
Since the block editor is based on React, we may be tempted to use React components and HTML code for the documentation. That is the approach I followed in my previous article, which...

ztext.js
22.9.2020
Super cool project from Bennett Feely! It makes any web type into 3D lettering with a mouseover effect that moves the 3D objects in space. It’s reminiscent of Zdog, but for type. It works its magic by stacking a bunch of copies of the glyphs on top of each other that are offset by some...
Thinking About Power Usage and Websites
22.9.2020
Gerry McGovern asked if I had any insight into energy consumption and websites. He has a book, after all, about the digital costs on the planet. He was wondering about the specifics of web tech, like…
If you do this in HTML it will consume 3× energy but if you do it in JavaScript it will...
Nova
21.9.2020
Nova is a new (vehemently macOS-only) code editor from Panic, the folks behind Coda. It’s like “Coda 3” except this was such a major re-write that they gave it a whole new name.
I played with some of the betas as they were building it. I got a little discount as it went live, so...

Pre-Caching Image with React Suspense
21.9.2020
Suspense is an exciting, upcoming feature of React that will enable developers to easily allow their components to delay rendering until they’re “ready,” leading to a much smoother user experience. “Ready,” in this context, can mean a number of things. For example, your data loading...
Vue 3
19.9.2020
It’s out! Congrats to the Vue team for getting it done, I know it was a massive effort and a long time coming. All new docs, as well.
I like it’s still a priority that Vue can be used with just a <script tag with no build process at all. But it’s ready for build processes...

Enforcing performance budgets with webpack
18.9.2020
As you probably know, a single monolithic JavaScript bundle — once a best practice — is no longer the way to go for modern web applications. Research has shown that larger bundles increase memory usage and CPU costs, especially on mid-range and low-end mobile devices.
webpack has a lot of features...
Optimizing CSS for faster page loads
18.9.2020
A straightforward post with some perf data from Tomas Pustelnik. It’s a good reminder that CSS is a crucial part of thinking web performance, and for a huge reason:
Any time [the browser] encounters any external resource (CSS, JS, images, etc.) it will assign it a download priority...

Weaved Webs
17.9.2020
There is a bit of an irony with Jamstack.
The concept is simple: you put pre-rendered, static files on web hosting (a CDN) designed to do that well. That’s it. If you need to do more, anything you do from there is done with client-side JavaScript, which is likely talking to serverless...
