Weaved Webs

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...

Comparing Data in Google and Netlify Analytics
25.8.2020
Jim Nielsen:
the datasets weren’t even close for me.
Google Analytics works by putting a client-side bit of JavaScript on your site. Netlify Analytics works by parsing server logs server-side. They are not exactly apples to apples, feature-wise. Google Analytics is, I think it’s fair...
This vs. That
24.8.2020
Here’s a nice site from Phuoc Nguyen, who I’ve noted before has quite a knack for clever sites. This vs. That pits different related concepts against each other as a theme for an article. For example, CSS has display: none;, opacity: 0;, and visibility: hidden; and they all, on...
Offering Options for mailto: and tel: Links
21.8.2020
I generally like mailto: links. But I feel like I can smell a mailto: link without even inspecting or clicking it, like some kind of incredibly useless superpower. I know that if I’ve got my default mail client set, clicking that link will do what I want it to do, and if I want, I...
radEventListener: a Tale of Client-side Framework Performance
18.8.2020
React is popular, popular enough that it receives its fair share of criticism.

How do you know a page (or any element on that page) scrolls? Well, if it has a scrollbar, that’s a pretty good indication. You might still have to scrapple with your client about “the fold” or whatever, but I don’t think anyone is confused at what a scrollbar is or what...

CMD+Z for Git is Here
23.7.2020
Version control with Git has become a “commodity” by now: virtually every software project today uses Git, and virtually every developer knows Git to some extent. This explains why I sometimes hear the following question when I talk about what I do for a living: “A desktop client...
WordPress-Powered Landing Pages on a Totally Different Site via Cloudflare Workers
22.7.2020
What if you have some content on one site and want to display that content on another site? We can do this in the browser no problem. We can fetch it, and plunk it onto the page.
Ajax, right? Ugh. Now we’re in client-side rendered site territory, which isn’t great for performance...

Christophe Cieters: Monopoly Money
12.7.2020
