Hi everyone!
I think I'm going to spend more time here this year. Some things I released lately:
1. A video on progressive enhancement: https://briefs.video/videos/is-progressive-enhancement-dead-yet/
2. A punk/blues/rockabilly/sludge record: https://deathgarage.bandcamp.com/album/death-garage-1

Deactivating a preloader, because perceived performance is better without it 😱
On Linux you can use Gnome Web (formerly known as Epiphany) to test Webkit. I use it as a replacement for testing Safari. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web/
