Service Worker for Middleman based websites

Middleman is a Ruby based static site generator which we use heavily at Kollegorna both for prototyping (checkout our Middleman boilerplate) and production sites. In my previous article on Service Worker, I overviewed the most common challenges you may face when implementing the technology. This time I’d like to dive into a single specific topic of enabling a worker on Middleman based website as there are a few things to deal with…

Container-Adapting Tabs With "More" Button

Or the priority navigation pattern, or progressively collapsing navigation menu. We can name it in at least three ways..

There are multiple UX solutions for tabs and menus and each of them have their own advantages over another, you just need to pick the best for the case you are trying to solve. At design and development agency Kollegorna we were debating on the most appropriate UX technique for tabs for our client’s website…

I wrote an article, coded a demo and got it all published on CSS-Tricks — you're very welcome to read, try and use it!
