Crafting experiences for the device that never leaves your pocket
Mobile development demands a different set of trade-offs: limited battery, variable connectivity, small screens, and users with high expectations and short attention spans. This category covers native and cross-platform approaches, responsive design, offline-first patterns, push notifications, performance on constrained hardware, and the platform-specific conventions of iOS and Android.

App Shell Pattern
A PWA architecture that separates the minimal UI skeleton (shell) from dynamic content — the shell is cached by the service worker and loads instantly, while content is fetched fresh on each visit.

Offline-First Design
1
An architectural approach where applications are designed to work fully without a network connection by default, treating connectivity as an enhancement rather than a requirement.

Progressive Web App (PWA)
1
A web application that uses modern browser APIs to deliver app-like experiences — installable on the home screen, working offline, and receiving push notifications — without requiring an app store.

Push Notifications (Web)
1
Browser notifications delivered to users even when the web page is not open, implemented via the Push API and service workers — requiring explicit user permission and a server-side push service.

Responsive Design
A CSS approach where layouts adapt to different screen sizes using fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries — one codebase that works across mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Service Worker
7
A JavaScript file that runs in the background separate from the web page, intercepting network requests to enable offline support, background sync, and push notification delivery.

App Shell Architecture
PHP 7.0+
Caching the minimal HTML, CSS, and JS needed to display the UI skeleton on first load — so the shell renders instantly from cache while dynamic content loads from the network.

Mobile Web Performance
Optimising web applications for mobile constraints — slower CPUs, limited RAM, high-latency 4G/5G, and battery sensitivity require different optimisation priorities than desktop.

Offline-First Design
ES2015
1
Designing applications to work without a network connection by default — storing data locally, syncing when online, and handling conflicts gracefully.

PWA Installation & Add to Homescreen
HTML5
1
Progressive Web Apps can be installed to the home screen like native apps — requiring HTTPS, a Web App Manifest, and a Service Worker, plus meeting browser-specific installation criteria.

Responsive Design Patterns
CSS3
Layout patterns for adapting UI across screen sizes — fluid grids, the column drop pattern, layout shifter, mostly fluid, and off-canvas navigation.

mobile intermediate
Touch Events & Pointer Events
ES2015
Handling touch input on mobile — the Pointer Events API unifies mouse, touch, and stylus into one event model, replacing the need for separate touch and mouse event handlers.

Web Push Notifications
PHP 7.0+
1
Sending notifications to users even when the browser is closed — using the Push API, Service Worker, and Web Push Protocol with VAPID authentication.
