Reading List
This reading list is sponsored by Wix Engineering, who give me money to research stuff, and when I find interesting things, I put them here.
- Project Common Voice – Mozilla is building an open-source voice recognition system. Give 1 minute to help it learn, by speaking a line of text, or listening and confirming.
- Progressive Web Apps – “The name isn’t for you and worrying about it is distraction from just building things that work better for everyone. The name is for your boss, for your investor, for your marketeer. It’s a way for you to keep making things on the open web”, by Frances Berriman, co-creator of the name.
- Progressing the web – “I don’t want the web to equal native; I want the web to surpass it.” I agree with Mr Keith on this.
- A Pretty Good SVG Icon System – in which CSS guru and male model Chris Coyier recommends inlining SVGs.
- Bootstrap to CSS Grid – “I made an example on Codepen that embraces CSS grid without removing the Bootstrap code or functionality for old browsers.”
