I built my own givewithella.com/changelog - it's a pretty simple implementation but I'm not sure I need anything more, for announcements an email gets sent out and pretty soon will have an accompanying blog.
Thanks Daniel. Is Ella a SaaS? How do you go about notifying users of new features and then track subsequent features adoption?
I've been using CSS grid with a flexbox fallback for months now, still hesitant to lose the fallback, but I did get lazy on a recent project and not worry about it too much (though still had to provide -ms fallbacks for the not so wonderful Edge).
Yep I am confused between going full Grid or Grid with Flexbox as fallback because it also requires to change markup (HTML) as well. If it were just adding more CSS then it would've been fine 😂
Yeah, it can be annoying. Though I've just learnt to factor it in for the most part. With some of the more complex grids however I do just leave it to browser support without the flex fallback. I've literally wasted hours upon hours on fallbacks for browsers that have say 1.6% market share, there comes a point where you have to argue that the time spent isn't worth the reward.
I've fallen into the horrible trap of "jQuery works for me" and not found the time to learn anything new, it's about time I did.
If it works then don't. But yeah React is the future & its here to stay for more 2 years atleast(just my prediction). So if you're learning anything go for React & if you are not adamant on books then free resource & simpler are the official docs (ohh & they're beautiful). Try it
It's a shame the "Download free chapter" CTA doesn't work!
Ohh it should. I tried in Safari it doesn't work but in Chrome it works. I think you have to wait sometime before it loads up (checkout the page has completely loaded). Took me like 10 seconds 😂
If you are also, learning here's another simple one Pure React. Dave Ceddia is awesome with React. Here's his advice about How To Learn React.
Also, another one is Robin & his book The Road To React if you prefer options

Do you have any software subscriptions etc that you use for your business and pay for on a monthly basis? Perhaps you could convert to annual plans of these, spend the $ and save a bunch all at once - perhaps you could buy lifetime licenses if these are available.
Is the hardware you require up to date? Could it use an upgrade? Spending some money here could give you a boost if not directly now, but in the longer term regardless of the projects you're working on.
A good code snippets manager. I'd love an app similar to Codepen.
Marc, are there types of applications you think this might not be suitable for? i.e those dealing with financial information
Not quite. Really, this is what I’m after...
- user purchases a product, but doesn’t know what the product is yet.
- after the payment is processed, the site reveals what the user just purchased (along with transaction email)
I can spend a bit of time writing the logic for all this without woocommerce myself, I was just wanting to throw together a very quick MVP as a proof of concept - hence the want for a plug-in or similar.
