Frontend Focus
Issue 247 — July 6, 2016

We've done it.. HTML5 Weekly is now FrontEnd Focus. What we do remains the same, but the new name better reflects what we cover. We have a blog post with more info.

Things are still transitioning but over this month, we'll have a new design and fully move over. We appreciate your support and hope you'll continue to enjoy what we do :-)

Best Regards,
Peter Cooper, Editor
