Emcee Tips for a Conference or Meetup

21.11.2019
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...

What’s at Stake With Masternode Coins?

21.11.2019
“Masternode” is a term that echoes less often in the cryptosphere these days, but not because user-controlled nodes have fallen out of favor. Rather, the nomenclature has shifted, with “staking” now used to describe the array of blockchains that fall under this banner. As...

A Super Weird CSS Bug That Affects Text Selection

12.11.2019
You know how you can style (to some degree) selected text with ::selection? Well, Jeff Starr uncovered a heck of a weird CSS bug. If you: Leave that selector empty Link it from an external stylesheet (rather than <style> block) Selecting text will have no style at all....

Two-Value Display Syntax (and Sometimes Three)

8.11.2019
You know the single-value syntax: .thing { display: block; }. The value "block" being a single value. There are lots of single values for display. For example, inline-flex, which is like flex in that it becomse a flex container, but behaves like an inline-level element rather than a block-level...

Satoshi’s Final Messages Leave Tantalizing Clues to His Disappearance

30.10.2019
As Jameson Lopp once quipped, the smartest thing Satoshi did after creating Bitcoin was to disappear. The question isn’t ‘why did Satoshi disappear?’ but rather ‘why then?’ Was Satoshi’s departure in early 2011 scheduled long in advance, or did unforeseen events...

The Landscape of Cross-Platform App Development

25.10.2019
I don't track this stuff very well, but I get it. If you want a native app for Android and iOS, it sure would be nice to only have to write it once rather than two very different languages. Roughly double your reach without doubling the work. More and more of these things are reaching into desktop...

What I Like About Writing Styles with Svelte

23.10.2019
There’s been a lot of well-deserved hype around Svelte recently, with the project accumulating over 24,000 GitHub stars. Arguably the simplest JavaScript framework out there, Svelte was written by Rich Harris, the developer behind Rollup. There’s a lot to like about Svelte (performance, built-in...

Random Notes from a JAMstack Roundtable

23.9.2019
I hosted a JAMstack roundtable discussion at Web Unleashed this past weekend. Just a few random notes from that experience. I was surprised at first that there really is confusion that the "M" in Jamstack stands for "Markdown" (the language that compiles to HTML) rather than "Markup" (the "M"...

Other Ways to SPAs

21.8.2019
That rhymed lolz. I mentioned on a podcast the other day that I sorta think WordPress should ship with Turbolinks. It's a rather simple premise: Build a server-rendered site. Turbolinks intercepts clicks on same-origin links. It uses AJAX for the HTML of the new page and replaces the current page...

Let’s Build a JAMstack E-Commerce Store with Netlify Functions

20.8.2019
A lot of people are confused about what JAMstack is. The acronym stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, but truly, JAMstack doesn’t have to include all three. What defines JAMstack is that it’s served without web servers. If you consider the history of computing, this type of abstraction isn’t...

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...

CSS Animation Libraries

22.7.2019
There are an awful lot of libraries that want to help you animate things on the web. These aren't really libraries that help you with the syntax or the technology of animations, but rather are grab-and-use as-is libraries. Want to apply a class like "animate-flip-up" and watch an element, uhhh...

Position Sticky and Table Headers

13.7.2019
You can't position: sticky; a <thead>. Nor a <tr>. But you can sticky a <th>, which means you can make sticky headers inside a regular ol' <table>. This is tricky stuff, because if you didn't know this weird quirk, it would be hard to blame you. It makes way more...

Tips for rolling your own lazy loading

1.7.2019
You may have heard (or even issued the call) that “we can just use lazy loading!” when looking for a way to slim down a particularly heavy web page. Lazy loading is a popular technique for gradually requesting images as they come into view, rather than all at once after the HTML of the page...

An In-Depth Look at Iris, a New Decentralized Social Network

13.6.2019
Cryptocurrency advocates have been discussing a new social media platform designed by one of Bitcoin’s earliest developers Martti Malmi, otherwise known as Sirius. The project he designed, called Iris, is a social networking application that stores and indexes everything on the user’s...
