There’s nothing inherently ‘mobile’ about AMP. AMP is designed to be mobile friendly, and with slow hardware and high latency connections, the boost you get with AMP on smartphones is going to be felt a lot stronger than on desktops. But AMP isn’t mobile only – it’s mobile first. In fact, if you can, I […]
TL;DR: I did a thing with Flexbox. Here’s the standalone demo if you’re into DevTools and view:source, and the CodePen. A couple days ago I was asked to create a the a page for AMPProject.org that would display our roadmap. Which I did. It looks like this: In order to make this design fully responsive, […]
A few weeks ago, I imagined how a Life After AMP could look like, and discussed how AMP isn’t a broad solution for all types of websites yet, plus offered my thoughts on Tim Kadlec’s and Yoav Weiss’ proposal for a Content Performance Policy. Most of all, I pondered whether we might need a standard […]
Now that AMP has publicly launched on Google Search and many other platforms (i.e WordPress), it’s time to start thinking how we can bring the things that work in AMP to the broader web. AMP isn’t for everyone (yet) Going one step back, I want to reiterate that the current AMP is currently not a […]
In the last couple of years, we, the web community, have tried hard to distill the basics of responsive design into an easily consumable framework, making it easy for everyone to use and adapt. I say we’ve been successful here. Many large consumer websites have refactored and adopted responsive design in 2015 and beyond. But […]
Don’t know how to get hired, as even “junior web designer” positions require years of experience and/or a portfolio? If you you’re confident in your skills but don’t know how to get started, here’s a one way that I believe works most, if not 100% of the time. Countless of my friends and comrades, including […]
I’ve seen a decent amount of open questions and controversy around the recently announced AMP project, a joint-effort by many publishers and platforms to improve the user experience of news and media sites. It all mostly boils down to how early we are in the lifecycle of AMP: There simply isn’t enough public documentation up […]
For the recently launched Updates section on Web Fundamentals, we sorely needed pagination. The whole site on /web, including all sub sites (i.e. our Showcase, the Shows section, etc.) runs on a single instance of Jekyll, which made said task more difficult than it needed to be. If all you need is pagination for your single Jekyll […]
The trusty little button What happens when you click a button a 100 times and it does the same thing every time you click it? You start to develop a relationship with said button. You now trust the button to do the thing it did before when you click it the 101st time. This trust is a fundamental […]
Aaaaand we’re back. In San Francisco, that is. I’ve also taken the move and life change as opportunity to cut ties with the web and switch my focus entirely to native Android development. That whole “web” fad just isn’t going anywhere. Kidding, kidding! :) I’m obviously still a Chromie and looking forward to all the […]
