About Poefke
I started working on the web in 1994 when I co-founded the Student Network Twente, on the University of Twente, managing a revolutionary high speed (10Mbps) network on the university campus.
Since 1997 I've worked professionally on building enterprise web content management solutions, including Ariadne CMS and Vedor. In 2015 we launched SimplyEdit, a true drag and drop user interface for the read-write web. Today we are working on extending this to a universal low-code application builder.

The target audience for unit tests is not the client, it is the developer. Unit tests allow you to change code with more confidence. 100% code coverage is not a useful aim, you sho…

Agreed, you cannot edit one part without the other. But there are many situations where this is not a drawback. Nobody is writing Word documents in a text editor for example. But I…

Hi, original author here. When I started out I wasn't trying to solve a problem. I was exploring a concept I was curious about. But in the end, we (me and a colleague) ended up bui…

If you resize the image in steps, with each resize at least 50% of the previous step, you can do a pretty decent approximation of cubic resize using the canvas. Doing this for a ye…
