It’s been more than a year since launched HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript Experiments to share my insight in front-end development and I never thought that it would become that popular in a relatively short period of time. As of September 2014 the website showcases than 60 demos also available for download and because of that constantly growing number and devout visitors (Thanks, fellows, you are the ones that keep this up and running!) I realized that the old layout became less usable and demands something new. The time for a facelift had come and this is what I did during the past few days.
Due to my recent excitement and digging into the amazing world of HTML5 Web Components, I decided to take the risk of losing page-views due to browser incompatibility and implemented the front-end using custom-built web components, some of which such as AcidJs.XImg (used for optimizing the loading of images) and AcidJs.XTabs (used for the code listing at the bottom of each page) are already featured on the website. Apart from these two, I developed AcidJs.XDrawer, which is used for the left hand navigation, and it will be soon available as a standalone demo and download. The utilization of reusable HTML5 Web Components allowed me to remove a lot of custom JavaScript and CSS, which optimized the overall performance and loading time. The currently supported browsers are all evergreen browsers and IE10+.
As a bottom line – I am really happy with the result, and I hope that the website will continue being a useful and inspirational source for front-end developers, sharing the same passion towards HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
Thanks and enjoy!
