Links, Picks, and Tips: Henrik Joreteg

• Tips: Sometimes it's just easier to disable registering SW in development. Just helps when you're trying to build/fix other parts of the site., It's very important to test your update process when deploying new versions of apps with SW. It's possible to “brick” a web app since if you successfully register a SW, then push an update that has a JS error that prevents your SW registration code from running. Pushing a new version won't fix it because it won't register the new SW and keeps serving the broken code from the previous SW. , and It's early to say this, but I think GraphQL will eventually replace REST as dominant http API approach for applications.
