If I had to guess, I’d imagine some sort of “reader mode” is coming to the Watch: in other words, when you open a link on your...
Manipulating Pixels Using Canvas
7.6.2018
Modern browsers support playing video via the <video> element. Most browsers also have access to webcams via the MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API. But even with those two things combined, we can’t really access and manipulate those pixels directly.

One of my favorite utilities is Homebrew, the shell utility for installing and upgrading other utilities — it’s a lazy developer’s dream. Dreams can easily turn to nightmares, however, and I recently learned that Homebrew caches older versions of installed packages, leading...
How React Reconciliation Works
17.5.2018
React is fast! Some of that speed comes from updating only the parts of the DOM that need it. Less for you to worry about and a speed gain to boot. As long as you understand the workings of setState(), you should be good to go. However, it’s also important to familiarize yourself with how this...
Responsive tables, revisited

Lea Verou with some extra super fancy CSS trickery. No way we could miss linking this one up!
One of the problems with responsive table solutions, at least the ones where you are using CSS to rejigger things, is that there is duplicated content somewhere. Either in CSS or HTML.

Scroll to the Future
19.4.2018
This is an interesting read on the current state of scrollbars and how to control their behavior across operating systems and browsers. The post also highlights a bunch of stuff I didn’t know about, like Element.scrollIntoView() and the scroll-behavior CSS property.
My favorite part of all though?...

Streaming entertainment is a massive interest of mine as both a consumer and web developer. My love for streaming entertainment dates back to the early days of RealPlayer and the misery of a million codecs. Fast forward to today and I’m working a lot with ReactJS, as well as the dozens...

The woes of date input
19.1.2016

But sadly, this input type has yet to reach its full potential. Briefly, the date...
