css position: sticky

This links highlights what's new in Chrome 56: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/01/nic56?utm_source=frontendfocus&utm_medium=email One cool thing amongst others (bluetooth access is also cool but this one css feature is something I wish we had a while back) is position:sticky . It's available in Chrome 56 (stable as of Jan 2017) and to summarize, it allows to fix an element into the viewport when it's within a threshold. .header {  // Element will be "fixed" when it is 10px from the top of the viewport  position:sticky;  top: 10px } You could set top : 0; to make it stick directly to the top of the viewport. Have to be conscious that this positioning might not be available in other browsers as of yet. There's this site I use to check what's available: http://caniuse.com/#search=sticky As of now, it's not available in IE (not very surprising...)

async promises in a sync way?

This blog post title is pretty confusing - but if you get to read this blog post by Google, it actually makes sense. It's actually pretty cool. Not that I don't like callbacks or promises, but I can see this being useful in more complex examples. async function fetchDogPics(url) {   try {     //this looks synchronous but it isn't...     const response = await fetch(url);     await response.text();   } catch (err) {     console.log('failed', err);   } }

angular.js modules?

I've been playing around with Angular.js and one thing that I haven't really looked at yet are modules. My app currently has only one module. I was thinking that I should probably soon or later refactor it into more defined modules. Today, while searching for something else, I just found something surprising about modules: "Angular Modules are good for nothing...so far. Except for loading 3rd-party angular code into your app and mocking during testing. Other than that, there is no reason to use more than one module in your app. Misko said of multiple modules: "[you] should group by view since views will be lazy loaded in near future". I'd love for someone on the Angular team to enlighten us on what their plans are for that." https://coderwall.com/p/y0zkiw
