The amazing power of service workers

Today, I want to talk about service workers: what they are, and when and why you’d use them I won’t be digging into code specifics today. This one is going to be a lot more high level that looks more at strategies and approaches. I will be sharing code details in some future articles. Let’s dig in. What is a service worker?

When they publish files, they are writing those files to the server’s disks. The server has ultimate authority over those sys...

Into the Personal-Website-Verse

Social media in 2019 is a garbage fire. What started out as the most promising development in the history of the Web – the participation of users in the creation of content and online dialogue at scale – has turned into a swamp of sensation, lies, hate speech, harassment, and noise.
