It is extremely uncommon for a visual designer or interaction designer building an application user interface to open a design program and begin to re-create the wheel in terms of UI patterns. No, in fact, the majority of the work that is done when designing a new application interface is based on common patterns that users already intimately understand. Imagine the scenario where the expectation placed on the designer was to create new and unique UI patterns for each UI project. They would argue to no end that from a usability perspective this would be UI suicide, not to mention the large amount of time (i.e. money) that would be needed for such an innovative endeavor.

How we built our HTML email editor using liquid, wysihtml5 and premailer Managing email design and content is extremely important to our customers. From day one, we wanted to give our customers full control over the look and feel of their email. Here are our first iterations of email editing in Customer.io. The naive approach We started with a big old text box using Ace editor for syntax highlighting. We started dogfooding the editor to manage our transactional, triggered and drip HTML emails that we send to customers. We love the static-site generator Jekyll. Separating Content from Form We were already merging content into emails using Liquid e.g.: {{ customer.firstname }}. The first step is two html text boxes. This makes it easy to separate concerns. Making it easy for everyone to write emails So, now we have some separation. After looking at another option, we implemented a slick WYSIWYG editor, WYSIHTML5. What’s great about this is we’ve limited what’s available in the WYSIWYG portion of the editor. Putting it all together inline the styles
blueimp/Bootstrap-Image-Gallery Controlling History: the HTML5 History API and ‘Selective’ Loading Today we’re going to look at a way to keep a sense of consistency on your website by maintaining the state of some elements even when the user navigates through history. We’re effectively going to create history-inactive areas which remain in the same state while the rest of the document is navigable. This technique effectively allows ‘selective’ loading of elements.

It saves time on loading Search engines take load time into account when ranking The web is becoming more mobile and top internet speeds aren’t available everywhere, and hey, not everyone has a dedicated broadband connection, so saving some time on your load speeds is always going to benefit your users. By using the History API we cut out all the junk. 2. Soundcloud uses this technique to keep music playing
