We are migrating our web application to DFINITY’s Internet Computer.
It’s official, we are porting our web editor for slides, DeckDeckGo, to DFINITY’s Internet Computer!
Thanks to the help of a second 25k USD grant from the DFINITY foundation, we will wrap up the work needed for running a beta version of DeckDeckGo on the Internet Computer (sign up to…
Lazy load JavaScript code from a content delivery network to serve users only what they need when they need it.
What if I told you modern browsers can natively import a single, or sets of functions, of a JavaScript library bundles, at runtime and, from a CDN? Wouldn’t that open up possibilities?
Well, good news. This is not an hypothesis but, a fact. Nowadays, all modern browsers can dynamically import…
A guideline that helps develop Angular applications and libraries in a reactive programming way with RxJS.
Even though there is no strict rule, combining imperative and declarative programming concepts with RxJS might be making the development harder and the code less clean.
Shifting mind from a (often) default way of programming (i.e. imperative) to a reactive (i.e. declarative) approach, takes time.
However, there is a single…
An approach of the data persistence for web applications with the Internet Computer of the DFINITY foundation.
We are developing a proof of concept to port our web app, DeckDeckGo, to the DFINITY’s Internet Computer.
After having validated the hosting and password-less authentication integration, we are tackling the last question of our POC: persisting user data and presentations in the blockchain.
Along the way, we tried out…
The singleton and factory design pattern, implemented with TypeScript. Explained with a hairdresser and an ice creams shop examples.
Of all the design patterns I learned in engineering school, the singleton and factory are probably those I use the most in my day-to-day programming activities. Sometimes I even mix the two to double the fun 😜.
In this blog post, I will show you how to implement these patterns…
An introduction to deploy web applications on the decentralized blockchain network of the DFINITY foundation.
We are building a proof of concept to port our web app, DeckDeckGo, to the Internet Computer of the DFINITY foundation.
Our project’s first milestone is not yet completely reached but, I managed to successfully deploy our editor.
Here are the few things I learned along the way. …
Can our web editor for slides work on the futuristic internet of the DFINITY foundation? Let’s figure it out.
Exciting news, we received a 25k USD grant from the DFINITY foundation to port our web editor for slides, DeckDeckGo, to the Internet Computer.
In the coming weeks we will build a proof of concept to validate the feasibility of the project. …
For the second year in a row, I ran some polls on Twitter about the relationship between developers and Progressive Web Apps.
Are PWA preached or adopted by developers? Do they use these on mobile and desktop? Do they develop these even if their support on iOS is not optimal…
A practical hack to make CSS nth- selectors variable within Web Components.
Using CSS variables, at least when I’m writing these lines in June 2021, is not supported in media queries or selector, e.g. :nth-child(var(--my-variable)) does not work.
This is a bit unfortunate but, not unsolvable. In some recent development I bypassed this limitation by injecting style elements in the DOM, into…
How to bundle ESM, IIFE or CommonJS libraries with esbuild.
I recently developed plugins and, migrated all the utilities of DeckDeckGo to build these with esbuild.
If you are looking to do the same, hope this tutorial helps you get started!
Introduction
esbuild is “an extremely fast JavaScript bundler” made by Evan Wallace. It is its tagline and, according my tests…
