10K Apart: What Can You Do With 10 KB?

My thanks to the Microsoft Edge team for sponsoring last week’s DF RSS feed to promote 10K Apart, a web design contest in which they’re awarding $10,000 in prizes to the most compelling web experiences that can be delivered in just 10 KB. With so much of an emphasis on front-end frameworks and JavaScript runtimes, it’s time to get back to basics — back to optimizing every byte and ensuring your site can work, no matter what. Check out the official rules and enter the contest today.
