Despite the huge bandwidth increases, websites don’t get much faster. This is because the biggest botteneck in loading web pages is latency. InstantClick is a JavaScript library that dramatically speeds up your website, making navigation effectively instant in most cases.
Before a visitor clicks on a link, he hovers over that link. Between these two events, 200 ms to 300 ms usually pass by. InstantClick makes use of that time to preload the page, so that the page is already there when you click. InstantClick uses pushState and Ajax, a combo known as pjax.

Editorially is a new collaborative writing and editing platform. Their goal is to support and encourage that writing process — from the first flash of inspiration all the way through to publication, and at every point in between.
Editorially achieves this goal in many ways: a Markdown-based writing environment lets you focus on the words and create clean markup easily; collaboration tools let you invite friends and trusted colleagues to review or edit your work; a document version system lets you mark points in a document’s history and compare versions to see what changed; notes and activity feeds encourage you to reflect on your work, for yourself and for others; and discussion threads recognize that the conversation around a text is just as important as the text itself.
