General Web Discussion Thread

miralize

I think this forum needs a place for designers to discuss the web in general. Maybe there isn't any need for this, but sometimes I think some topics shouldn't merit a thread of their own. It might even be a good place to vent

I'll start us off :

Do you think Chrome has declined in overall browsing quality for the past 18 months or so? The introduction of Blink especially has, for me at least, made it very hard to get anything done, with the page hangs & general speed. I know this is v1 of Blink, but still its not to the standard that I expect of the browser. Should Google slow down on releasing updates?

Anyone planning on heading to Build this year?

As in the Microsoft one or the one in Belfast?

I've wanted to go, and I'm pretty ashamed I haven't been to a single conference yet. Not exactly the immediate social type though tbh. Maybe, who knows. It might help it my quest to break free from freelancing.

:eek: FOR SHAMEEEE! *hiss* *boo* etc.

You should definitely make time to attend at least one per year . As for being not all that social; it's very, very, hard to attend a conference and not make at least one friend/acquaintance. Unless you really go out of your way to sabotage yourself.

Plus when you're drinking and bowling with Jeremy Keith, it's very hard to not get all giddy.

I may have been known for that :P

Yeah I might do, bit of a trek to belfast without a car though.

Is that not the best graphic design job you've ever seen?

I'm no designer but I still think people should have to pass a test or get a license before they're permitted to operate Photoshop without qualified supervision.

You can see the word art, has to be using Publisher 2003 I'd reckon.

Serious Chrome & Firefox flaw: chrome://settings/passwords Just click on the stars and press 'show'. In Firefox it's Preferences > saved passwords > show passwords. This works on any platform from desktop to mobile.

Especially when using something like Keychain and have Chrome make that absolutely useless via an import.

At an SEO meetup.

Jesus christ SEO people, you old!

I know they said that the SEO industry is dying, but I didn't know that was because the people working in it were :pac:



(An attempt at a humorous poke at SEO folks. No offence intended.)

SEO optimization is losing its irrelevance pretty quickly imo. It's mostly due to common sense and improved search algorithms.


Anyone else using Bourbon Neat? I wan't to like it, but its very confusing.

Absolutely. Though I wouldn't say losing it's irrelevance per say. Rather that it's completely transforming into something completely different.

Grid system? Nay. I'm a Gridset & Compass man.

Still tickets available, the student discount is pretty generous too.

Would love to go (said I would definitely go this year!) but the tickets always come out at the worst time for me. Saving for a holiday now and have Christmas in mind also, can't fork out almost £400 for it, despite how good it'd be.
