My experience has been mixed. I do most of the work stuff on Chromium and the UI is okay-ish, used to be better, but whatever. However, the personal stuff I keep it for Firefox, and it's just as OP said: 4-6 seconds to complete an acti

Unrelated to this topic, but still speaking about AMP: has anyone done integration tests with AMP pages? It seems that it's impossible to achieve that, and since AMP has its own async module with amp-forms and amp-mustache, I'm a

According to our user research, yes. But YMMV.

In the demos we include touch emulator by hammer.js, that's why it's breaking it; it's not meant to be used like that.

Several reasons: - Screen real estate: we simply don't have enough space to put everything - It's a responsive webapp: if we create a new button just for mobile, then we'll have to hide it for desktops, which means more compl

(I'm one of the creators of ptr.js) I have to agree with you on most cases: please don't touch my scroll behavior. However, this tool was created because on user testing, we found that for our app, users were having trouble figuri

We initially published it ~1.5 years ago, so close enough, I guess?

If you open that page with a touch-enabled device, you can check the demo on the main page, since it relies on touch events. Or as stated before, try opening the demos.

This seems like a lost opportunity for a full fledged YouTube competitor. I know video isn't trivial, but if you're going for it, might as well go big. There are lots of YouTube creators that have been demonetized and are resented

As someone that has done both, you might be right. Consulting is way more profitable, but the thing is that you basically are working for someone else, and you can scale it as far as you can fit it on your calendar or hiring. But with a pro

I'm reading the comments and I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about what CSS Grid is. Mostly because the spec is big and there's not just one way to do things, so it gets mixed with flexbox and tables. I recommend wa

Haha, I didn't get to read that much, but that sounds hilarious! Now I'm sure he's just trolling.

I was alive as well, and just barely starting to get into coding, so my analysis will not be very accurate. However, in a pre-google web, most sites would add thousands of keywords to their meta tags, hoping that even when the site was not

UX can't be a plug-and-play solution, because it depends on your business and the user's goals. UX is figuring out what should be a main menu element and what shouldn't. Home and princing? Definitively. ToS and privacy policy

I agree with all the points, but I would add one: Show AMP results for all browsers. AFAIK, only Chrome (and maybe Safari, can't confirm) are shown AMP links in the search results. There is people (like me) who like to support other br
