Creating distraction-free reading experiences
Distractions have always been a natural constituent of our lives. But with the rise of mobile technology, a circus of notifications, and all the noise going on around us, it’s become harder and harder to focus on a task at hand.
The practical value of semantic HTML
We’re seeing more and more types of devices connecting to the web, and semantic HTML can help these devices display your content in a more usable way to their owners. And if your site is more usable than your competitors’, you win, and your boss will erect a massive gold statue of you in the office car park.
great news: there are two on-the-horizion web platform features that are trying to make no-jank, fixed-aspect-ratio, fluid-width images a natural part of the web platform.
If you're using a web font, you're bound to see a flash of unstyled text (or FOUC), between the initial render of your websafe font and the webfont that you've chosen. This usually results in a jarring shift in layout, due to sizing discrepancies between the two fonts. To minimize this discrepancy, you can try to match the fallback font and the intended webfont’s x-heights and widths. This tool helps you do exactly that.
Your Site—Any Site—Should be a PWA
PWAs don’t require you use a particular JavaScript framework or any JavaScript framework at all. You don’t need to be building a Single Page App either. In fact, it will probably be easier if you’re not. If you work on a website, there’s a really good chance your site could benefit from the technologies and approaches aggregated under the PWA umbrella.
Is there a cold war between Android and Chrome because of PWAs?

The average web page is 3MB. How much should we care?
You can have large, robust pages that still feel fast. But you should care about page bloat in terms of how it affects mobile users, especially mobile-only users who are dealing with bandwidth constraints or data limits.
CSS Indexes: A listing of every term defined by CSS specs
This is a non-normative document. It lists every term defined in CSS, as long as it’s marked up correctly for the spec generator. It is intended as a reference document for authors, implementors, and spec authors, to aid in finding the definition for a term hidden somewhere in the haystack of CSS specs.
Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They’re Not Keeping It Secret
