In 2018, Twitter announced that it has started offering its mobile PWA as its main site. PWA? What’s that?Progressive Web Apps (PWA) is the future of mobile apps and the web, pushed by heavyweights in the industry especially Google. With features such as adding to home screen, offline support, push notifications and more, a PWA offers a user experience approaching that of a native mobile app.Here’s how a PWA works. Imagine you have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) app that is also PWA compliant. You just need to visit the app using a normal URL in your mobile browser. If you have (...)

FaaS Marketing Strategy For MasonThis morning I came across an interesting company on ProductHunt called Mason.They have a tool they’re calling “front end as a service” that looks like it’s a WYSIWYG builder for web apps that spits out code blocks.Pretty straightforward value.Pretty straightforward audience (anyone building app front ends).And a pretty straightforward website that has great placement of logos, trust factors, and CTAs.Their website also shows off their product really well in photos — something that I think a lot of websites miss, especially in SaaS.Overall, their site has good design. Something I’d expect from a company that sells to designers.So…. let’s break down their marketing strategy.At a more abstract level, I think one of their biggest opportunities is not a channel or a (...)

Yesterday night, I deployed my first Amber app to production. It’s a JSON hosting service for your mobile and web apps. I call it JSON Keeper.The app is very simple and straightforward right now. It only has one screen with no user accounts. You simply go to the site, paste your JSON and receive a URL where it’ll be hosted.Building the app was very similar to Rails experience. Amber has the good old MVC structure, and regularly spits out response in microseconds.It took me some time to internalize that it is reporting things in microseconds. I kept comparing the response time of Amber app to a Rails app. This was a bit disappointing as I saw 300ms for Rails and 300 µs for Amber app.Later when I looked closely at the unit of time did it all make sense.Developing this app was a refreshing (...)

https://nolanwlawson.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/screenshot-2018-4-1-pinafore-e28093-home11.png

Today I’m happy to announce a project I’ve been quietly working on for some time: Pinafore. Pinafore is an alternative web client for Mastodon, which looks like this:

Screenshot of Pinafore home page

Here are some of its features:

– Speed. Pinafore is built on Svelte, meaning it’s faster and lighter-weight[1] than most web apps.
– Simplicity. Single-column layout, easy-to-read text, and large images.
– Multi-account support. Log in to multiple instances and set a custom theme for each one.
– Works offline. Recently-viewed timelines are fully browsable offline.
– PWA. Pinafore is a Progressive Web App, so you can add it to your phone’s home screen and it will work like a native app.
– Private. All communication is private between your browser and your instance. No ads or third-party trackers.

Pinafore is still beta quality, but I’m releasing it now to get early feedback. Of course it’s also open-source, so feel free to browse the source code.

Every web application has a predefined set of users that have different roles and permissions. To verify the users, applications need to have an authentication module or functionality. Using Middleware, you can easily implement multiple authentication in Laravel.In this article, I will demonstrate the middleware functionality. More specifically, I will show how to authenticate an admin user and a normal user.MiddlewareIn web apps, developers often need to implement some functionality during the request hit on a particular URI.

How can I reuse this supposedly reusable component in the page I’m building?So you’re using a components-based framework such as #react JS, Vue JS, or the latest Angular? React popularized the idea of components a few years ago as a way to reuse code and build web apps more efficiently.“That’s great in theory, but in my experience these fancy “reusable” things are never reused”, said my skeptical 43 year-old coworker, as I introduced the team to VueJS.As the project went on, it turned out he was mostly right. The emergence of this new paradigm of component-based interfaces has left many questions unanswered:How do you define the scope of a component? How do you decide what should be included in one component, and what should be left to a separate component ?Where do you put the styles?At what (...)
