Hi!My name is Michael Deeb and I'm a web developer in San Francisco, CA.
Over the years, this website has provided me with a personal project/playground to try out various web technologies (currently React)
Most of what I write here is to try and help my future self remember how a particular problem was solved or how something works. There is an added bonus that what I write here may help someone else solve a similar problem.
My first experience with web development was designing a single page for a video game, which I did in Internet Explorer. I was so happy with what I had come up with and tried to show my friend on his Mac and that's when I discovered cross-browser compatibility.

Aside from the Parallax-esque effect on their hero image, the other small detail that caught my attention was their reading length estimates on every article. In the…
