Day 17 of #100DaysOfCode:

We fixed three bugs related to the UX. Getting closer every day…

Day 16 of #100DaysOfCode:

Today we continued to work on creating smooth transitions between iframes of different heights as we swipe between them on mobile.

Today we continued to work on creating smooth transitions between iframes of different heights as we swipe between them on mobile.

Day 15 of #100DaysOfCode:

Today we decided to try loading the first two iframes in a slider section for better transitions between swiped iframes. It seems better, so we are going to keep this change and continue to trying to improve the UX.

#buildinpublic

Ugh. Did not work yesterday, as home, yard and church swallowed the day.

Today, day 14 of #100DaysOfCode:

Solved an issue in which the page did not load properly when being reloaded in the browser. Also explored various potential use cases for our product.

#buildinpublic

Day 13 of #100DaysOfCode:

Well, today we seemed to be on track to smooth out some kinks for when a user adds a section, then we ran into a fresh crop of issues. Documented them and called it a day. Off tomorrow for a sabbath rest, then back at it on Sunday.

Day 12 of #100DaysOfCode (late post):

On day 12 we eliminated a “flicker” that was happening when a user adds a new section. We also came up with a method to load custom CSS and apply it to a unique body class in each iframe.

#buildinpublic

Day 11 of #100DaysOfCode:

Today we fixed a few issues on the site and experimented with a preloader gif we’ve been using on the parent page and iframes. We took the preloader off the iframes and liked the faster action when swiping between iframes.

#buildinpublic

Day 10 of #100DaysOfCode (late post):

Our recent work allowing iframe heights to be passed along to parent divs caused an issue when the user would add a new section to the page. Today we fixed that issue and updated our project roadmap.

#buildinpublic

Day 9 of #100DaysOfCode:

Breakthrough! Today we figured out how to pass our resized iframe heights to parent divs, so all iframes now appear full-sized.

#buildinpublic

Day 8 of #100DaysOfCode (late post):

Began digging into the CSS in our iframes. I want to see how many auto-generated styles we never use and think about ways to be more efficient.

#buildinpublic

Day 7 of #100DaysOfCode:

We continued our work passing along the height of a resized iframe to the parent page. We were able to get this working on a local install, but not on our live project. More work to do. We also resolved a minor bug on our project.

#buildinpublic

Day 6 of #100DaysOfCode:

We’ve been using iframe-resizer (github.com/davidjbradshaw…) to fit scaled iframes to a device width. It allows us to set the height of the iframe. But we can’t always pass that height along to the parent div, so we worked on that today.

#buildinpublic

Day 5 of #100DaysOfCode:

Today we finished lazy losing iframes on scroll. Onward!

#buildinpublic

Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode:

Today we hit a roadblock on implementing lazy load on scroll, so we took a break from that.

Instead, we worked on extending the lazy load slider changes we made last week to sliders that the user can add to the page.

#buildinpublic

Welp. Didn’t work yesterday. Circumstances conspired to fill my day with other good things.

Today: Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode

Worked on loading various iframe sliders as they appear in the viewport. Almost there. Hope to finish tomorrow.

#buildinpublic

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode

Finished the lazy loading of iframes in sliders—huge performance improvement!

Note: I'll be taking Saturdays off—we'll pick it up again Sunday. I still need to post details on this project but again ran out of time. Coming soon, I promise. #buildinpublic

Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode

Not day one of this project, but my first day tweeting. Today was spent trying to lazy load iframes in a slider to improve performance—we have several such sliders on the page.

More details on the nature of the project coming tomorrow. #buildinpublic
