    Notes

  • Local-First Web Development
    Notes
    So, you want to build an app that has its data co-located with its UI? That works offline? That synchronizes between clients? And that lets its users own their data?

    Notes
    I agree quite strongly that the web does not need to emulate native to provide a powerful, vibrant app ecosystem.

    Notes
    These apps aren’t packaged and deployed through stores, they’re just websites that took all the right vitamins.

  • Unit testing React components without a DOM – simonsmith.io – Portfolio and blog of a London based front-end web developer
    Notes
    the idea of shallow rendering is to instantiate a component and get the result of its render method, which is a ReactElement. From here you can do things like check its props and children and verify it works as expected.

  • MWC 2013, Firefox OS, and More Web API Evolution | Brendan Eich
    Notes
    The missing APIs must be added to the web platform in order to enable the billions of new mobile users who will be coming online in the next few years to have affordable web-based phones, tablets, and apps. Emerging market consumers and developers generally cannot afford increasingly higher-end, native-app-advantaged smartphones from the two bigs.

  • Why Publishers Don't Like Apps - Technology Review
    Notes
    Last fall, we moved all the editorial in our apps, including the magazine, into a simple RSS feed in a river of news. We dumped the digital replica. Now we're redesigning Technologyreview.com, which we made entirely free for use, and we'll follow the Financial Times in using HTML5, so that a reader will see Web pages optimized for any device, whether a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet, or a smart phone. Then we'll kill our apps, too.

  • The mobile app is going the way of the CD-ROM: To the dustbin of history | VentureBeat
    Notes
    For developers, it’s technologically more manageable to build one mobile web app than a half-dozen or even just two native apps. And given the state of mobile web standards, we’re quickly approaching a point where end users can’t tell the difference between the two. All that’s really left is a business model for mobile web apps, Sullivan contends.

  • Platypus | Sveinbjorn Thordarson
    Notes
    Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native, flawlessly integrated Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script.
