This Week in Web

8th July 2018 - #28

This week we take a quick look at the Page Visibility API, designing for accessibility and the Feature Policy within Chrome.

 

Enjoy 🎊

Designing for accessibility is not that hard
Seven easy-to-implement guidelines to design a more accessible web ❤️

An introduction to Feature Policy
Feature Policy allows web developers to selectively enable, disable and modify the behaviour of certain APIs and web features in the browser. It's like Content Security Policy but instead of controlling security, it controls features!

Page Visibility API
With tabbed browsing, there is a reasonable chance that any given webpage is in the background and thus not visible to the user. The Page Visibility API provides events you can watch for to know when a document becomes visible or hidden.

Prototyping in the browser
Prototyping animations and interactions is vital for a number of reasons, we hear how Gusto have approached it using CodePen as their platform.
