Congratulations Artopod, 10 years in the business.

May 22nd, 2008 by Afraithe

Our good friends Elin and Jonas at Artopod is throwing a party tonight to celebrate 10 years in the business!

We network quite a lot with companies around is here in SkellefteƄ, and the party will bring together a lot of old friends I would guess, ppl from Paregos, Northkingdom, Vinter/Mammon, and Thomson will be showing up, to name but a few. Please note, visiting the above websites can result in severe flash damage!

Moxiecode Systems AB actually celebrates 5 years in the business this year, perhaps we will organize something after the summer, need to spread these parties out, good for business.

Let’s get the party started!

PS: Please note that any support issues might have a slow response time on Friday ;)

Everything is relative

May 9th, 2008 by Afraithe

We focus a lot on the size and performance of TinyMCE, each feature, optimization and fix adds more KB to the source, we always weigh fixes and feature against the increase in size of the package. If you use TinyMCE without compression, the Javascript, with all plugins and all features, is around 150kb, if you use the GZIP feature, you get it down to 75kb.

Is this big? Lets take a few examples, if you surf on a newspaper website, something most of us visit every day, you load far more than TinyMCE.

Here are some examples of some of the most visited websites in Sweden.

www.aftonbladet.se
CSS: 252kb
HTML: 244kb
JS: 252kb

www.dn.se
CSS: 325kb
HTML: 231kb
JS: 187kb

www.idg.se
CSS: 126kb
HTML: 140kb
JS: 175kb

This is without images or flash. Am I the only one to find this completely insane? Doing this test made my browser crash just surfing between these websites.

Perhaps TinyMCE is Tiny after all.
