   Cool project, thanks for sharing. HN readers should also check out https://hpbn.co (High-Performance Browser Networking) and https://every-layout.dev (amazing CSS resource; the paid content is worth it, but the free parts are excellent on their own).

   Glad you found it helpful! Most of it is distilled from High Performance Browser Networking (https://hpbn.co/). It’s a very well organised, easy to follow book. Highly recommended!

   Unfortunately, it’s not updated to include QUIC and HTTP/3 so I had to piece together the info from various sources.

   I’d been looking for networking books meant for software developers for a while and just ordered “High Performance Browser Networking” and “Kubernetes Networking” a few hours ago. If only this was posted yesterday!

   I had read Andrew Tanenbaum’s book on networking when I was in college. Great book, fun to read but as a developer, I could never really apply the knowledge from that book in my work and it’s been a gap that I only managed to bridge through unsystematic learning so far.

   What is a good way to search for previous HN discussions from a phone?
