Looking for HTML5 resources to mention in Design, Math, and Data was complicated by the lack of dating in search results.
Searching on “html5 interfaces examples,” the highest ranked result was:
HTML5 Website Showcase: 48 Potential Flash-Killing Demos (2009, est.)
That’s right, a four year old post.
Never mind the changes in CSS, jQuery, etc. over the last four years.
Several pages into the first search results I found:
40+ Useful HTML5 Examples and Tutorials (2012)
It was in a mixture of undated or variously dated resources.
Finally, after following an old post and then searching that site, I uncovered:
21 Fresh Examples of Websites Using HTML5 (2013)
Even there it wasn’t the highest ranked page at the site.
I realize that parsing dates for sites could be difficult but surely search engines know the date when they first encountered a page? That would make it trivial to order search results by time.
Pages would not have a strict chronological sequence but a better time sorting than the current time hodgepodge of results.
