Progressive Web Apps – Service Workers and Server-free Selfies
On 1st November 2016 at The Financial Times as part of Progressive Web Apps – Service Workers and Server-free Selfies
Developing a progressive web app for Snapchat-like selfies has led me to learn about service worker practicalities, client-side image generation and standalone app limitations. I've come unstuck by a Chromium bug and sparked a WICG discussion. Combining the things I've learned along the way with advice I've received from Google and my colleagues, I'd like to share practical tips for getting started with service workers and PWAs.

Web developer advocate @ Samsung. Progressive web apps and web APIs for the win
I've been a mostly-web developer in various industries since 2003, with a growing focus on front end and the latest web APIs. I recently joined the new developer relations team at Samsung Internet, to help developers to make the most of APIs like service workers and WebVR. My previous roles include being a 'future technologies' developer at Pearson, the world's largest education company, and a tech lead at pebble {code}, an innovation agency where I helped to develop a cross-platform Bluetooth application. I'm @poshaughnessy on Twitter and Github.
