The New Design of WebAppers has just released! After days and nights of hard work, you can eventually check out the re-design of WebAppers.
Responsive Design
It’s a responsive design, which is crafted to use W3C CSS3 media queries, to adapt the layout to different viewing environments. So that users across a broad range of devices and browsers will have access to WebAppers, laid out so as to be easy to read and navigate with a minimum of resizing, panning and scrolling. Take a look at the following examples of viewing WebAppers in browser with different resolutions: 1280px, 1024px, 800px, 600px and 320px.
Most Popular Section & Sticky Navigation Menu
I have added Popular posts section, so that you can get an idea of some of the most popular posts in the last 30 days or all time. It’s best for users have not got enough time reading every new posts daily. You will also notice the sticky navigation menu on the left hand side, it will follow you when you scroll. So that you can quickly browse other topics if needed.
Updated Books Section
I have also updated the recommended books section too. You are able to check out some of the useful books for web designers and web developers. Please feel free to suggest some of other great books I have not mentioned too. It will make our life better.
Still working on……
I am still working on refining the Tags on the right hand side. I am trying to split some big tags into smaller ones, so that you can find what you want easier. It takes some time for thousand of posts…
You may find some bugs here and there. Please feel free to let me know what you think about the new design. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Firebase is a cloud service that automatically synchronizes data between clients and with our cloud servers. It frees developers from worrying about how their data will be communicated and stored, and allows them to focus on their own application logic. Apps built with Firebase can be written entirely with client-side JavaScript, update in real-time out-of-the-box, are inherently scalable, and interoperate well with existing services.
Firebase is designed so developers can build great apps quickly, and it is intended for both expert developers as well as those just getting started. Firebase’s synchronization approach can provide all of the data storage and transmission needs of many apps. This does not mean, however, that developers can’t run their own servers.
Firebase plays nicely with any existing system through its REST API or its Node.js library, allowing developers of existing apps to add scalable real-time functionality with just a few lines of code.
