For me the creation of prototypes have been a crucial part of the building a website workflow ever since responsive design landed. Showing someone your ideas in a static design leaves loads of room for clients to guess what the other viewports might look like, but a URL that can be viewed on what ever […]
Stefan revisits the web adage that the best request is no request at all… which is essentially why we ended up concatenating our CSS and JS and creating sprites for our UI images…. if you don’t have to make two http requests then don’t.

A nice little project that will be made available on github once complete that will be building a VUE based PWA that connects to Magento. With BackPocket Notebooks being one of my non-digital side projects I’m really keen for an offline/PWA however at the moment I’m bound by what Shopify offers.
