If you're talking about thumbnails, I think they made the right choice. Just the top part of the homepage already contains 5MB of image assets. Scrolling down a few times quickly ups that to 15MB and more. I'd rather have reasonab

It's a nice exercise, but please be aware that using that font in your website makes it terribly hard to read for users who need to zoom in. As in, enlarged pixelated letters are even harder to read then blurry ones. Bitmap fonts are o

In my experience, margin isn't harmful. Using a container to space components relative to each other is harmful. In fact, using margin correctly can prevent an explosion of exceptions on the relative positioning of your components. It

The style of question marks used, while perhaps correct, is extremely uncommon in Dutch. It's also not easy to type, even with a Dutch keyboard layout. I'd bet that the author is German.

I've been a developer in both good and bad Scrums. Usually, the difference boils down to one or more of these points: - Is the product owner any good? (physically present, has mandate, shields the members from company politics, open to

I wonder if it's possible to catch horizontal touch events only. As it stands, the demo page is nearly impossible to scroll.

No, it does't allow comments. Fortunately, a project README has more then enough room for any remarks. Yes, you're better off putting numbers in strings. No big deal. But also: JSON files are easily readable by default, in a lot o

I would like to try to switch to a JetBrains IDE. Especially the refactoring tools look to be much more advanced then Atom or VSCode. At my workplace, most developers are either full stack or backend (python). As such, we have a grab bag of

Holy crap, this has blown my mind. I've always thought that "visualizing" something is a metaphor for "think about it" or "list the properties you know". This explains so much, at least for me. How I alway

Can I share some observations? There are a few things I really love about this: - You kept the end user in mind: You. The GUI looks like a mashup, in a good way: A Mac OS menu bar, Windows GUI feel and a NextSTEP launcher on top of a Unix l

I think it's interesting how debates about Electron inevitably end up with the arguments 'the developer wants X' vs 'the user wants Y'. However, there's one aspect a lot of people seem to overlook in their argu

Warning; I'm going to have a brutally honest opinion here. It's better to start over. With a proper UX design, a proper visual design and a good quality frontend developer. Or at least, as close as you can get. My first few though

Funny, I'm Dutch and I learned the week starts on Monday. Well, except for strongly religious families.

Helvetica has a few very easy tells; look at the 'e' and 'c', the 'F' and 'E' and the 'A' and 'Y' in these examples, and you'll get 20/20. Oh, and the 'G' and &

It depends on the situation, I think. As a frontend developer who's in concurrent agile, multidisciplinary projects, the people skills and the ability to connect development with design are an absolute requirement. Being able to float
