Saved Links
I've been using Pinboard (and del.icio.us before that) on and off to save my links ever since 2005, but I migrated to Raindrop.io this year. Here are the latest links I saved. You'll find all the others in my public collection.

One of the lowest hanging fruit in achieving highly performant imagery is automating the compression process. It’s easy to accidentally add an uncompressed file or run out of time to set up elaborate configurations to manage compression for us.

@adactio shares his insights on the current state of the web and web development and its complexity. Expectations of the web have changed : people expect the web to be terrible (especially on mobile). You can do more with less today, but we don’t always choose to do so. Fondamental stuff is not (aways) a technology. The goal of any good framework or library should be to make itself redundant. Our priority should always be what is going to make life easier for the user. The worse thing we can do is to assume things are inevitable (FB, Google), but that is just the way things have turned out. They can change. Let’s have the imagination of how things could be different. “I am afraid for the web. When I’m done with all this, and when I look around and all the people making websites look like me, then I think we will have failed.”

instant.page makes your site’s pages instant — in 1 minute of effort — by preloading pages right before a user clicks on them: when they hover over a link for 65 ms; there’s one chance out of two that they will click then. On mobile, it preloads when they start touching their display, before releasing it.

With browser support of ES6 having reached more than 96%, it might be a good idea to move away from jQuery to accomplish basic tasks like fetching data, selecting elements, styling and animating them, as Tobias Ahlin argues.

Adding rel=preconnect to a <link> informs the browser that your page intends to establish a connection to another domain, and that you’d like the process to start as soon as possible. Resources will load more quickly because the setup process has already been completed by the time the browser requests them.

Can anyone admit they’re not delighted when a component slides into view and appears to slow down before coming to a complete stop? There’s something nice about that. So what is that special touch, and why is it so hard to reproduce?
