... I would like to up the anty and have web apps work in a portable vanilla HTML file WITHOUT needing a webserver to run it. E.g., double click and run. CORS be damned!
Webservers are a pain in the ass and a legitimate barrier to entry. Wouldn't it be great it you could literally send around a single file, especially to non-technical users who cant run a web server, to run your apps?
Pivotal Tracker was the first time I saw a digital kanban board where the workflow was represented as a series of columns you dragged items through. Since then, its become popular paradigm for pretty much every popular project management software UI around.
I always wondered, did Pivotal Tracker invent this paradigm? They were surely using it before any of the big players utilized it.
Hi, I had some initial trouble where I kept selecting all the text on the website when I shift-z-clicked. This is easily fixed by making text unselectable on your site via CSS. I wouldn't recommend everyone use it for their entire site, but I think in your case it will make a better demo.
This Pepsi redesign is just particularly (spectacularly) bad. There are plenty of brand briefs which are intelligent, strategic and grounded in reality.
As someone who spends several hours a week livestreaming, I really appreciate the mushy-applesauce-inspired-super-quiet keys that Logitech provides - you can't hear them over the mic.
I used to run a daily show off a tricked out MacBook Pro, and it was really problematic (e.g. 30 second delays on live streams). Moved to PC with a good processor and video card, and now it just sips the processor at ~12% with near-live performance. If you use OBS for live streaming, I strongly recommend you move off of Mac, especially if you do anything beyond the most basic operations.
There is a lot that you can do to optimize OBS streams before you may need to jump to Windows, however :)
Nicky Case does incredible work. She should be a poster child for Patreon, through which I believe she makes most of her living. https://www.patreon.com/ncase
I'm not sure why they don't start with the navigation map, instead of the wonky scrolling experience. You have to hunt for the map, but the link to it is just below the title screen. The map is actually well designed!
I did something similar for a few years... then my web app was hacked. I realized what a big liability it was to have such precious stuff inside an app with such limited security. Since then I’ve learned to make do with simpler tools. Omni Outliner is my favorite!
As a teenager when these books were in use, they were frustratingly expensive and unobtainable. I've since then always put great weight on the accessibility of documentation. E.G., MDN is a treasure for all.
Same experience here with teaching, it has had a huge secondary benefit for me in that I know how to run a room. I also highly recommend running a meetup.
