It is obsessively optimized for mobile devices that notoriously have troubles handling a large number of tags at the same time (especially images).]]> http://cubiq.org/infiniwall/feed 11 http://cubiq.org/device-orientation-augmented-ui-the-css-way http://cubiq.org/device-orientation-augmented-ui-the-css-way#comments Sun, 17 Jun 2012 10:26:40 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=193 Someone recently discovered a nice GUI touch in the upcoming iPhone operating system (iOS6), metallic button reflections change as you tilt the device (video on youtube). Can it be done on the browser with just CSS? Of course it can, with a pinch of JS.]]> http://cubiq.org/device-orientation-augmented-ui-the-css-way/feed 3 http://cubiq.org/webkit-weird-box-shadow-bug-with-fix http://cubiq.org/webkit-weird-box-shadow-bug-with-fix#comments Thu, 29 Mar 2012 18:21:02 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=189 http://cubiq.org/webkit-weird-box-shadow-bug-with-fix/feed 20 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-3 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-3#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:24:46 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=180 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-3/feed 14 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-2 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-2#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:12:40 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=173 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad-part-2/feed 9 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad#comments Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:40:06 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=170 http://cubiq.org/build-and-publish-an-html5-game-for-ipad/feed 14 http://cubiq.org/swipeview http://cubiq.org/swipeview#comments Sun, 09 Oct 2011 14:12:52 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=164 SwipeView is the super simple solution to endless seamlessly loopable carousels for the mobile browser. It's memory conservative as it uses only three elements at any given time, it's smooth as velvet since it takes advantage of hardware acceleration, it's bandwidth friendly with its 1.5kb minified/gzipped footprint.]]> http://cubiq.org/swipeview/feed 264 http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4 http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4#comments Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:36:58 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=124 iScroll finally received a complete rewrite. Now it's smoother than ever and adds some new important features: pinch/zoom, pull down to refresh, snap to elements and more custom events for a higher level of hackability.]]> http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4/feed 882 http://cubiq.org/device-motion-websockets-node-js-tech-demo http://cubiq.org/device-motion-websockets-node-js-tech-demo#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:26:42 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=114 iOS 4.2 is finally out and it adds a couple of new important tools to the web developer's arsenal: websockets and devicemotion. The former makes client/server communication a snap, the latter brings accelerometer support to the browser. I wanted to test both technologies and see what problems might arise. It has been a very interesting experience, here're my impressions.]]> http://cubiq.org/device-motion-websockets-node-js-tech-demo/feed 16 http://cubiq.org/testing-memory-usage-on-mobile-safari http://cubiq.org/testing-memory-usage-on-mobile-safari#comments Thu, 21 Oct 2010 12:30:05 +0000 Matteo Spinelli http://cubiq.org/?p=112 How many elements can I load into the iPhone browser before it crashes? I've been asked this question many times. We don't have memory management on Safari mobile browser, and we don't know when it is going to crash. This level of uncertainty bothered me enough that I decided to do some (admittedly empiric) tests.]]> http://cubiq.org/testing-memory-usage-on-mobile-safari/feed 21
