An ongoing project to catalogue all of these sneaky, hidden, bleeding edge selectors as I prepare my JSConf EU 2012 talk.
Everything is broken up by tag, but within each the selectors aren't particularly ordered.
I have not tested/verified all of these. Have I missed some or got it wrong? Let me know. - A
A friendly reminder that you may need to set this property on your target/selected element to get the styling results you want:
-webkit-appearance:none;
Because somehow I always end up trolling the interwebs looking for a reference for these.

| I understand the younger generation thinks everything should be free. | |
| Well, I grew up in a country where everything was actually free. (The few things we actually could have). A worker's paradise! | |
| As you may have heard, that country is no more, and "everything is free" was a major reason for it's demise. (To this day, they are still dividing up all the formerly free stuff) | |
| If any lesson I learned, it is that people who do stuff should be compensated for their work | |
| and services (commonly acceptable unit of compensaton is called "money"). | |
| So all this talk about using services because they are free is crazy talk and it leads in the same direction the whole Soviet Union happily marched off. |

Web apps have had offline capabilities like saving large data sets and binary files for some time now. You can even do things like that you could write an app that cache MP3 files. Browser technology can store data offline and plenty of it. The problem, though, is that the technology choices for how you do this are fragmented.
localStorage gets you really basic data storage, but it's slow and can't handle binary blobs. IndexedDB and WebSQL are asynchronous, fast, and support large data sets, but their APIs aren't very straightforward. Even still, neither IndexedDB nor WebSQL have support from all of the major browser vendors and that doesn't seem like something that will change in the near future.
If you need to write a web app with offline support and don't know where to start, then this is the article for you. If you've ever tried to start working with offline support but it made your head spin, this article is for you to
| 5 Crucial Usability Tips for App Designers and Developers | |
| ---------------------------------- | |
| Hey, everyone. I'm Curtis Lassa, and I'm here to share some very simple | |
| usability guidelines with you for application development. | |
| By the end of this video, you should have a better understanding of how to design a UI that is intuitive and easy for your users to make sense of. | |
| Let's begin by examining one of the fundamental pieces of applications on the web: hyperlinks. On a dekstop, it's much easier to be precise about where you want to click because your mouse cursor is small. You know what's not small? Our fingers. Relative to the pointer, of course. So, this means that when you're considering your application for touch-screen devices, you need to adapt accordingly. |
