Adapt.js is a lightweight (848 bytes minified) JavaScript file that determines which CSS file to load before the browser renders a page. If the browser tilts or resizes, Adapt.js simply checks its width, and serves only the CSS that is needed, when it is needed.

A potential drawback of Adapt.js is the possibility of a brief flash of unstyled content as a new stylesheet is being fetched (think of it as “Ajax” for CSS). I have done my best to mitigate this by keeping CSS files small (3 KB). It is worth noting this is a proposed, not prescribed, approach to a problem with multiple solutions.

Other methods include: Build a separate site for mobile. Or, use media queries to adjust layout, with a polyfill for older browser support, and conditional Internet Explorer comments for Windows phones. Also a factor is how to handle multiple image resolutions without adding file size. Filament Group is advocating context aware image sizing.

Nice.

I am a writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of a number of books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007),and most recently Cross Country (Wiley 2011).

Really nice stuff.

Supermechanical makes products and experiences that mate the successful interfaces between human and object, with the efficiency of digital media.

So much of electronic devices is hidden, and we don't understand and love their nuances the way we do with 'dumb' objects.

We want to give soul to electronics, and make connections between people. We are exploring the intersection of old- and new-world craftsmanship. Supermechanical is practical magic.
