In plain words

Blink.js is a developer tool that restores the HTML `<blink>` tag to modern browsers. The project, hosted on GitHub, allows developers to make text and elements flash or blink on web pages, reviving a feature from earlier web browsers. It's designed for developers interested in adding blinking animations to their projects or exploring nostalgic web effects.

    JS library to make your website instant2014 · ▲426

    http:&#x2F;&#x2F;instantclick.io&#x2F; It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant. It works like this: before clicking on a link, you'll hover over it. And there's a delay of 200-300 ms between these two events. InstantClick uses this delay to preload a page, when you click on a link it will display instantly in most case. (You can test on the website.) That's…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
