How to fix the “net::ERR_ABORTED” Google Tag Manager Error in Tag Assisstant

Here’s a quick one. Once in a while, I notice people asking the same question in our ever-growing Google Tag Manager community, therefore, I’ve decided to publish a short blog post offering a solution. Situation; a developer adds a Google Tag Manager container code to a website and you want to check whether everything works properly. You open Tag Assistant, refresh the page and get the following error next to Google Tag Manager An error occurred while the tag was fired: net::ERR_ABORTED. What do you do? Continue reading and I’ll show you a quick fix. Here’s the screenshot of the error I have in mind: In fact, this issue is caused by the same thing that throws gtm.js 404 errors in the browser’s developer console. And the cure for that is exactly the same too. Solutio...

Having fun with link hover effects

A designer I work with was presenting comps at a recent team meeting. She had done a wonderful job piecing together the concept for a design system, from components to patterns and everything in between that would make any front-end developer happy. But there was a teeny tiny detail in her work that caught my eye: the hover state for links was a squiggle. Default link (top) and hover effect (bottom) Huh! Not only had I not seen that before, the idea had never even crossed my mind. Turns out there are plenty of instances of it on live sites, one being The Outline. That was the one that was implementation that inspired the design. Cool, I figured. We can do something like a linear background gradient or even a background image. But! That wasn't the end of the design. Turns ...

A Guide To Embracing Challenges And Excelling At Your UX Design Internship

This is the story about my user design internship. I’m not saying that your internship is going to be anything like mine. In fact, if there’s one thing I can say to shape your expectations, it would be this: be ready to put them all aside. Above all else, remember to give yourself space and time to learn. I share my story as a reminder of how much I struggled and how well everything went despite my difficulties so that I’ll never stop trying and you won’t either. It all started in May 2018, when I stepped off the plane in Granada, Spain, with a luggage at my side, laptop on my back, and some very rusty Spanish in my head. It was my first time in Europe and I would be here for the next three months doing an internship in UX design at Badger Maps. I was still pretty green in UX, having be...

6 Ways to Speed Up Slow Clients

Frustrated with your client? Beginning to wish you’d never taken this job on in the first place? Do you just need some feedback so that you can move forward? Picture it: You’ve managed to land a great gig with a well-paying client and you can’t wait to get started and produce some of your best web design work…But then days elapse into weeks and the project just isn’t moving forward.

Data Visualization with Webix

In this article, I’ll cover the process of data visualization with the Webix JavaScript UI Library. The most convenient and intuitive form of visualized data is, naturally, a chart. That’s why we’ll talk about different types of charts in this article. Webix is JavaScript UI library of HTML5 components that you can use for creating mobile and desktop web apps. There's a wide variety of components from a simple button to the SpreadSheet Widget that can be used for developing Excel-like office web applications. Besides the UI components collection, there’s an event handling mechanism, offline mode support, and a bunch of development tools. For example, you can create your own skins using the Skin Builder, use the visual designer for drag-and-drop UI creation, or experiment with the code in o...

All Fired Up About Specificity

You never know where the next Grand Debate™ in front-end is going to come from! Case in point: we just saw one recently based on a little Twitter poll by Max Stoiber in which 57% of people got it wrong. There were reactions ranging from the innocuous hey fun a little brain teaser! to the state of web education is in shambles and beyond. I heard from a number of folks that they just felt sad that so many people don't know the answer to a fairly simple question. To be fair, it was (intentionally, I'm sure) rather tricky! It wasn't really a question about CSS — it was more about the idea that the order of HTML attributes doesn't matter. It's the order of CSS that does. One extreme response I saw said that front-end stuff like this is needlessly complicated and getting it wrong...

Building A PWA Using Angular 6

In this tutorial, we’ll be using the latest Angular 6 to build a PWA by implementing the core tenets that make a PWA. We’ll start by creating a front-end web application that consumes a JSON API. For this matter, we’ll be using the Angular HttpClient module to send HTTP requests to a statically JSON API generated from the Simplified JavaScript Jargon GitHub repository. We’ll also use Material Design for building the UI via the Angular Material package. Next, we’ll use the “Audits” panel (Lighthouse) from Chrome DevTools to analyze our web application against the core tenets of PWAs. Finally, we’ll explain and add the PWA features to our web application according to the “Progressive Web App” section in the Lighthouse report. Before we start implementing our PWA, let’s first introduce ...

4 Web Design Principles Hollywood Reboots Can Teach Us

At least once every day, some designer somewhere in the world will look at something made months or years ago; failing that, some executive will get the bright idea that they can make their mark on a company and the world by changing something that already exists, instead of making something new. One or both of these people might get this sort of itch in the back of their head, accompanied by a sense of dissatisfaction and ill-defined purpose. The itch will get itchier, the dissatisfaction will grow, and the purpose will begin to form until, one day, they blurt out the words: I think we should redesign our website (and/or make a King Kong movie that focuses on the human characters). Redesigning a site is not unlike rebooting a movie or TV show. They’re both massively complex creative...

Using Scoped Slots in Vue.js to Abstract Functionality

Let’s start with a short introduction to Vue.js slots concept. Slots are useful when you want to inject content in a specific place of a component. Those specific places that you can define are called slots. For example, you want to create a wrapper component that is styled in a specific way but you want to be able to pass any content to be rendered inside that wrapper (it might be a string, a computed value, or even another component). There are three types of slots: default / unnamed slots: used when you have a single slot in a component. We create them by adding <slot> in the template where we want to be able to inject our content. This <slot> tag will be replaced with any content passed to the component’s template. named slots: used when you have mul...

How monday.com makes project management AWESOME for web developers

So what the heck is monday.com? You're probably see a bunch of promotions for it. Every project management tool seeks to do the same instrumental thing: keep teams connected, on task and on deadline to get major initiatives done. But the market is getting pretty crowded, and for good reason — no platform seems to have gotten the right feel for what people need to see, and how that information should be displayed so that it’s both actionable/relevant, and contextualized. Introduction That’s why monday.com is worth a shot. The platform is based off a simple, but powerful idea: that as humans, we like to feel like we’re contributing to part of a greater/effort good — an idea that sometimes gets lost in the shuffle as we focus on the details of getting stuff done. So projects are put onto a t...

Destructuring Assignment In JavaScript

I’m not so sure, but I think JavaScript might be the only web technology where you can destructure objects and assign the individual units in one take. It is also one great feature that allows you can get straight to the point with what you have to do and keep things very clean. Destructuring assignment in more simple words means unpacking the values of objects or arrays into simple variables. You have probably already seen it used somewhere, and it never made sense to you. At the end of this guide, we will see how to use it and what it can replace for you. Prerequisites Let’s Start With Arrays Old school ways tell us that if we have an array and we want to assign some of it’s values to variables, we do something like this: let johnDoe = ["John", "Doe", "Iskolo"] let firstName = johnDoe[0]...

Burke Holland 2018-09-19T13:30:17+02:00 2018-09-19T11:39:28+00:00 A few months ago, Microsoft released its free Visual Studio (VS) Live Share service. VS Live Share is Google Docs level collaboration for code. Multiple developers can collaborate on the same file at the same time without ever leaving their own editor. After the release of Live Share, I realized that many of us have resigned ourselves to being isolated in our code and we’re not even aware that there are better ways to work with a service like VS Live Share. This is partly because we are stuck in old habits and partly beca...

All My JavaScript is Broken and I Don't Know Why

There are few things in life that I enjoy more than good, healthy, broken code. It’s inevitable that things are going to break, it’s inevitable that I'm going to need to debug those things, and it’s inevitable that I'll need do whatever is necessary to fix them. No one ever ships 100% perfect code. This happens all the time: we ship code to production, all our tests pass, things seem fine, we celebrate… and then users start complaining. Sometimes they complain right away. Sometimes days later. We usually have no idea what happened to make them complain in the first place. No one has ever intended their code to unexpectedly break whatever it broke. So we end up scrambling to do post-mortem debugging. An exception has happened, we don’t have the info as to why, but we need to figure it all ...
