It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites.

Yep!

I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! - Alistair Shepherd A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright?

New blog post! πŸš€

A few months ago a media org demanded a license fee for an open graph image I linked. I paid the fee because I was worried, but it raises serious questions about open graph usage on the web!

This goes through how it went and my thoughts.

Are we right in the <head>? Unseen by visitors the head tags is easily overlooked, but very important to a website's performance.
