Saving your history (beta)

One of the beta features I’ve been quietly working on is the ability to retrieve a history of saved urls. Currently this is tucked away inside of the beta features - so you need to open a console, but it needs your feedback and testing to understand if it’s viable and works. Please contribute to the feedback on github here.

Mentioned in the show:

Paul Irish - Chrome dev relations guy at Google.

Dion Almaer - Host of Function Source, all around JavaScript, frontend expert.

“HTML5 is a jewel that we need to cut into a weapon” - Dion /via Yehuda Katz

Adam is in love with GitHub’s new editor powered by Cloud 9

HTML5 Boilerplate contains a set of best practices to use as a starting point for new projects or pick what you need a la cart.

Boilerplate now includes Normalize.css, a customisable CSS file that makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards.

Normalize is a collaboration between Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Neal

Modernizr is an open-source JavaScript library that helps you build the next generation of HTML5 and CSS3-powered websites, from Faruk Ateş, Paul, and Alex Sexton.

rack-modernizr from Marshall Yount brings Modernizr to the server

Paul coined the term FOUT - Flash Of Unstyled Text.

HTML5 polyfills implant html5 functionality in browsers that don’t natively support them.

Paul makes micro microapps for CSS3, text shadows, and HSL picking.

Paul is a fan of Chris Coyer of CSS Tricks

simurai:

Tried to make a Brushed Metal style in CSS3. The texture is done by using 3 repeating-gradients with different length. That makes it look somewhat random. For the linear version, browser support is pretty ok, but for the radial one it’s not quite there yet. I think only in Safari 5.1 and Chrome Windows.

In addition I tried to add a conical gradient for the circle with just faking it with ellipse gradients. It’s ok for low contrasts and if you cover the middle part with an icon or so.. hehe.. ;-P A much more real looking technique is used in this experiment, but I believe it currently only works in Safari and Chrome Windows. Let’s hope that CSS4 will add support for real conical gradients.

See live Demo.
