The face of CSS is rapidly changing.
Web platform offers few ways of storing data. The most popular is slow and synchronous
Sketch raises $20m in Series A funding from Benchmark # localStorage followed by pain-full to use IndexedDB. The first standard JavaScript library (built-in module) is coming to address this issues — KV Storage. Import maps are here to help to resolve a path to a module. This great article by Phil Walton explains all of these.A big announcement and official confirmation — team collaboration and Sketch in the browser are coming in 2019. I cannot wait for it.
Designing An Aspect Ratio Unit For CSS # Do you remember a CSS padding hack to implement responsive
Stadia # iframe / embed? The CSS Working Group is working on much more elegant solution for this issue — aspect-ratio property. Rachel Andrew does a fantastic job by presenting a problem and suggesting a solution. This is part of very early drafts of CSS Sizing Specification Level 4 — please, don’t event try using it yet. It has not been implemented to any browser yet.I am super excited about the concept that Google presented at GDC 2019. Streaming service, with no box required, cross platform and cross device. I am looking forward to an official public announcement.
New Amazon S3 Storage Class – Glacier Deep Archive # Amazon Web Services announced new storage class — Glacier Deep Archive. Even more cost effective cold storage service that costs up to 75% less than the previously the cheapest Glacier. It is just an amazing news for all that use this service as a data backup like I do — “My Amazon S3 photo backup solution”.
