Performance — Adaptive Video Streaming With Dash.js In React — Smashing Magazine

Adaptive Video Streaming With Dash.js In React — Smashing Magazine

HTML `` is the de facto element we turn to for embedding video content, but it comes with constraints. For example, it downloads the video file linearly over HTTP, which leads to performance hiccups, especially for large videos consumed on slower connections.

Frontend — Revisiting CSS border-image

Revisiting CSS border-image

I’ve used border-image regularly. Yet, it remains one of the most underused CSS tools, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why.
