Going Offline First (Video Series)
A five-part video series from Ire on how she built the “save for offline” functionality on her site.
The first one is about getting a set set up on Ghost so you can probably safely skip that one and go straight to the second video to get down to the nitty-gritty of the Cache API and service workers.
Voxxed Thessaloniki 2018 - Opening Keynote - Taking Back The Web - YouTube
Here’s the talk I gave recently about indie web building blocks.

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us - YouTube
Looking back on this classic explainer video from eleven years ago, I know exactly what’s meant by this comment:
its weird that when i first saw this video it made me think of the future, and now i watch it and it reminds me of the past..
Phil Nash and Jeremy Keith Save the Safari Video Playback Day
I love this example of paying it forward:
- Phil Nash wrote a post on his site that really helped me, so
- I wrote a post on my site, which helped Peter, so
- Peter wrote this post on his site, which showed up via webmention on my site, and now
- this post will help somebody else …who I hope will write about it.

How to build a simple Camera component - Frontend News #4
A step-by-step guide to wrapping up a self-contained bit of functionality (a camera, in this case) into a web component.
Mind you, it would be nice if there were some thought given to fallbacks, like say:
<simple-camera>
<input type="file" accept="image/*">
</simple-camera>
How Do We Keep Up? What Happens if CSS Grid Changes? - YouTube
Another great video from Jen as part of her Layout Land series. This time she addresses the question of the overwhelming technology landscape for developers and where they should invest their time.
She references my most recent talk, where I’ve been drawing a distinction between “materials” (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and “tools” (everything else).
Designing for Everyone: Building Great Web Experiences for Any Device
The slides and video from a really great well-rounded talk by Aaron, filled with practical examples illustrating concepts like progressive enhancement and inclusive design.
Keynote: The Building Blocks Of The Indie Web - YouTube
Here’s the video of the talk I gave at Design4Drupal last week in Boston. There’s a good half an hour of questions at the end.
Any Site can be a Progressive Web App - Jeremy Keith | DeltaV 2018 - YouTube
Here’s a really quick (ten minute) talk about the offline user experience that I gave at the Delta V conference recently. I’m quite happy with how it turned out—there’s something to be said for having a short and snappy time slot.
There’s a common misconception that making a Progressive Web App means creating a Single Page App with an app-shell architecture. But the truth is that literally any website can benefit from the performance boost that results from the combination of HTTPS + Service Worker + Web App Manifest.
Designing Web Content for watchOS - WWDC 2018 - Videos - Apple Developer
If you don’t fancy watching this video, Eric Runyon has written down the salient points about what it means for developers now that websites can be viewed on the Apple Watch. Basically, as long as you’re writing good, meaningful markup and you’ve got a sensible font stack, you’re all set.
Or, as Tim puts it:
When we build our sites in a way that allows people using less-capable devices, slower networks and other less than ideal circumstances, we end up better prepared for whatever crazy device or technology comes along next.

TANK (short film by Stu Maschwitz) - YouTube
This fun little film gives me all the feels for Battlezone …but then watching the excellent “making of” video really made me appreciate the love and attention to detail that went into this.
What History’s Female Internet Pioneers can Teach us about Tomorrow on Vimeo
The terrific talk from Beyond Tellerrand by Claire L. Evans, author of Broad Band.
As we face issues of privacy, identity, and society in a networked world, we have much to learn from these women, who anticipated the Internet’s greatest problems, faced them, and discovered solutions we can still use today.
Webstock ‘18: Jeremy Keith - Taking Back The Web on Vimeo
Here’s the talk I gave at Webstock earlier this year all about the indie web:
In these times of centralised services like Facebook, Twitter, and Medium, having your own website is downright disruptive. If you care about the longevity of your online presence, independent publishing is the way to go. But how can you get all the benefits of those third-party services while still owning your own data? By using the building blocks of the Indie Web, that’s how!
