Introduction to WebP
As I have mentioned before, images account for about 60%~70% of web bandwidth. That is to say, image is one of the most important factor for web performance. WebP is superior to other image formats in some points. WebP FeaturesLossy and Lossless compressionPNG and GIF support lossless compression, JPEG supports lossy compression, but WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression. And it should
A UX Idea: Know where they are aiming!
If you are a web developer or designer you know what :hover selector essentially does; browser detects current mouse cursor position, checks if the cursor is inside the element then adds the css rules you defined before. This is a significant feature in terms of usability; you can create a drop-down and get rid of the all the clutter of secondary items or you can reveal an info popup to explain th
Affinity Designer, Sketch, and Why You Don’t Have to Choose
Yesterday, Serif publicly released Affinity Designer, a powerful vector graphics design app for Mac that is the first serious rival of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator has stood unchallenged in its space for many years, and within hours of launching, Affinity Designer attracted widespread attention from designers overjoyed at the prospect of a possible competitor. Given the appetite for good alterna
Presentational and Container Components
BismuthUpdate from 2019: I wrote this article a long time ago and my views have since evolved. In particular, I don’t suggest splitting your components like this anymore. If you find it natural in your codebase, this pattern can be handy. But I’ve seen it enforced without any necessity and with almost dogmatic fervor far too many times. The main reason I found it useful was because it let me separ
The Idea Person
The Idea Person waltzes into the office on a Monday morning feeling light as a feather, her mind blooming like a lotus flower. An idea is unfurling! And what a marvelous idea it is, shimmering with promise, twinkling with the anticipation of what could be. Though the idea at this stage is barely a ghost, Idea Person can already see, taste, or touch some piece of it—a flawless sentence, a scene tha
Side Effects in CSS — Philip Walton
It feels like every few days I read about some shiny new way people are writing CSS. Many of these “new” ways are not actually new, they’re variations on one or more well-known methodologies, but with a few changes sprinkled on top. Now, I’m certainly not against change, nor trying to make improvements on current best practices, but if you’re going to make changes, they should be for the better. F
The Web’s Grain by Frank Chimero
The Web’s Grain— A view on designing for the web by Frank Chimero • February 2015 This site is an interpretation of my talk from Webstock, 2015. It is a companion to What Screens Want, a previous essay on designing natively for screens. Can I play something for you? Trust me: it’s totally worth it. Oh, and while you’re listening, pay attention to your chest. You may feel a growing warmth, kind of
Invisible animation
There’s no doubt that animating user interfaces is a rising trend. Risen enough that the emphasis is often put on the animation itself, rather than on improving the user experience through subtle and functional animation. Pasquale D’Silva gave some good advice in his talk at Web Direction South in 2013, including: Good animation is invisible. You shouldn’t notice that you’re looking at animation.
The End of Creativity
People living in the twentieth century heard a lot of talk about “creativity.” People living in the twenty-first century will not. Creativity is not dead yet, but its end is in sight. Alfred North Whitehead invented the word in 1926. 75 years later, it was one in every 70,000 words published and had become the name of a popular hypothesis: that new things are created by “geniuses” who solve proble
Saving time in Sketch
With Sketch 3, Bohemian Coding has finally offered interface designers a great design tool with the speed and flexibility that competitors lack. I’m a freelance interaction designer and I have been using Sketch since the early days. I have successfully introduced Sketch into my design workflow and I’m willing to share my insights with you. Here are 6 time saving design techniques that I have gathe
The Specialist-Generalist Balance
A couple of years ago I hit a crisis point. There was a distinct divide between disciplines at my company; I had been labeled a “backend developer,” and it was starting to feel restrictive. The label wasn’t wrong: I spent most of my working hours writing server-side code. I enjoyed it, and I was good at it—but it wasn’t all that I could do. I’ve always considered myself to have a fairly generalist
Challenging CSS Best Practices — Smashing Magazine
When it comes to CSS, Thierry Koblentz is convinced that the only way to improve how to author style sheets is by moving away from the sacred principle of “separation of concerns”. CSS authors thrive on styling documents entirely through style sheets, an approach that has been sanctified by the CSS Zen Garden project (what most developers consider to be the standard for how to author style sheets)
