Today’s Readings

Intersection Observer sounds damned nice…

Ish is an amazing tool for testing your responsive site! This site looks pretty cool, especially in Disco Mode (even more so if you have an über-wide monitor)! :-)

A fun little musing about the history of color names in CSS. And once you think you’ve got them all sorted out, have a go at ‘s CSS Colour Names game! It ain’t easy…

I had the pleasure of seeing present at the 2015 Smashing Conference in Freiburg, so it is a pleasure to start following his readings, such as his growing series of web font anti-patterns. Inlining as Base-64 in a CSS file is one I know I am guilty of, and need to change in a current project. Looking forward to the rest in the series!

Oh, you know that clever “hash-bang” (#!) you’re using to create “crawler” URLs for Googlebot? Well, it appears they don’t like that idea any more… Instead, they recommend the golden standard of progressive enhancement.

And finally, Video, Steve Souders, Responsive Field Day 2015. `nuff said??

Happy reading,
