This looks like a really valuable tool Nick! It's really cool that you can reference memory back to real, familiar object names, haven't seen anything like this before :) I assume we can use it via the WebIDE Devtools? Can't wait to try it out! *W I L S O N P A G E* Front-end Developer Firefox

Re: Allowing web apps to delay layout/rendering on startup

2015-08-02 Thread Wilson Page
Are we expecting that this will reduce unwanted layout/paint cycles on the critical path and thus minimise the 'white flash of doom'? If not what are the options for killing this? If the user has to see anything before the new 'please-draw-me' event, we'd probably like to see the app's background

Just to clarify: I am in favor of icon-fonts, but less baking them into the system. Do we have perf figures comparing normal @font-face loading (external or inlined) compared to the baked in solution? - Original Message - From: "Vivien Nicolas" To: "Wilson Page&q

If we are using ligatures in our apps, this isn't a problem. If someone wants to remove PUA glyphs, great! But this has no reason to block. - Original Message - From: "Anne van Kesteren" To: "Wilson Page" Cc: "Jonathan Kew" , "Patryk Ada

The gaia-icons font currently uses ligatures to place icons, see here . The ligature character sequence is derived from the original filename of the SVG source file in `images/`. Is this what you were referring to? W. - Original Message - From: "Jet Villegas" To: &q
