1 | # AMP+PWA Demo for Blog and News Sites
2 |
3 | A simple, dependency-free blog that uses a
4 | [Progressive Web App](https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/)
5 | (PWA) to show [Accelerated Mobile Pages](https://www.ampproject.org/) (AMP).
6 | __This is not an official Google product.__
7 |
8 |
9 | ## Setup
10 |
11 | This project requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/).
12 |
13 | In the root of this repo, run `npm install` to download all dependencies, and
14 | then `npm start` to start the server. You can visit the site at
15 | [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
16 |
17 | Note that this is just a _demo site_. Some features (e.g. push notifications)
18 | require a more complex backend that is not implemented here.
19 |
20 |
21 | ## Implementation Details
22 |
23 | Our site uses AMP and PWA to create a site that loads as fast as possible, while
24 | still allowing users to take advantage of some of the most recent web platform
25 | features like push notifications and offline browsing.
26 |
27 | The front end consists of three main components:
28 |
29 | - __AMP templates__: All pages are valid AMP pages. We'll only have to maintain
30 | a single set of templates (rather than a conventional version and a separate
31 | AMP version).
32 | - __[App Shell](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/architecture/app-shell)__:
33 | This is an empty HTML page that contains some scripts to download content.
34 | - __[Service Worker](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/primers/service-workers)__
35 |
36 | The first pageview will always be an AMP page. If visitors are coming from
37 | Google search results, this page will be loaded directly from the [Google AMP
38 | cache](https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/overview). In the background,
39 | the AMP page will install the service worker, which in turn will cache the app
40 | shell page and some other resources.
41 |
42 | Any further pageview will be intercepted by the service worker. It returns the
43 | app shell, rather than the requested page, and the app shell will then load the
44 | actual content using AJAX.
45 |
46 | While the content shown inside the app shell is still valid AMP, we can now use
47 | custom JavaScript to add functionality that is not (yet) supported by AMP. Note
48 | however that this functionality will not be available on the first pageview, or
49 | in browsers that don't support service workers. The App Shell can also intercept
50 | link clicks and use the web history API to create a "single page app".
51 |

Art meets Dinner at Sketch London
11 |
Ever wanted to know what it’s like to sit inside a giant egg, trying to go the loo, while geese squawk at you? Well welcome to sketch. Part restaurant part terrifying art installation this a playground-esque restaurant in Mayfair, created by Mourad Mazouz, mixes a peculiar experience with outstanding food.
12 |
sketch restaurant is formed of several rooms; a velvet-covered candy pink main room, an ostentatious oriental style private dining room, the masculine smoking-room style parlour, and the astonishingly decorated forest-like Glade Room.
13 |
We chose to have dinner in the main part of the restaurant, the Gallery Room. The candy pink velvet benches and small bistro tables are beautiful but more impressive are the collections of sketches lining every wall. All created by artist David Shrigley, they feature some very odd encounters, funny jokes, and just the downright absurd.
14 |
All the china in the restaurant features Shrigley illustrations too, it reminds me of the Edward Munkton Puccinos tableware and it’s pretty funny.
15 |
But what did I have to eat? Well, when I was given the option to order a whole mandarin duck I couldn’t really turn it down. A whole duck. Not to myself mind you, but even for two of us it was pretty large. And yes when they say duck they do mean the whole thing. They even present it to you before whisking it away to be carved up. This is probably some important etiquette thing but I’m obviously not posh enough to know about it and would rather they just bring you the duck on a plate ready to eat instead of teasing you with it before removing it for another few minutes to be carved.
16 |
All I can say is that the duck was delicious, but so was the wine, so at this stage I can’t really tell you how or why it was delicious, just that it was.
17 |
But the dessert is something that I’ll never forget.
18 |
When you were younger, did you imagine that being an adult meant you could eat whatever you want, whenever you wanted? What happens if you’d wanted sherbet mousse and popping candy with flying saucers for pudding in a fancy restaurant? Then you grew up and realised that these sorts of places only served boring (but tasty) desserts like cheeseboards and lemon tarts.
19 |
But not at sketch.
20 |
What we ordered was like a childhood dream. A plate of zingy sherbet mousse, decorated with flying saucers and sprinkled with popping candy and ice cream, all arrived in pastel colours of pink and yellow and orange. Oh and it was delicious. Don’t get me wrong I love a cheeseboard, but there’s something hilarious about ordering flying saucers for dessert.
21 |
Oh and about those goose eggs, have fun in the toilet as you sit inside your own personal pod with mood lighting and the sounds of geese squawking overhead…

Prohibition style cocktails at Bar Americain
11 |
While Piccadilly Circus bustles above you, you can venture underground to the vast complex of dining hall, cocktail bar and cabaret theatre practically underneath the Eros statue. This Art Deco style bar, restaurant and music hall was originally the The Regent Palace Hotel, a trans-atlantic style opulent hotel built in 1915. It was revived in 2004 though restored faithfully. Now you can sip Aviators and Mint Juleps in the aerospace themed bar.
12 |
I first visited this bar after having dinner at Brasserie Zedel, part of the same complex previously the Regent Palace Hotel. I’m a big fan of cocktails and though the concise menu here is great I like to test out bar staff by requesting a few off-menu drinks. The bar staff here are fantastic and clearly know their stuff as no cocktail was too difficult, and they seemingly had every ingredient needed. This is the place to come if you want to enjoy some authentic, classic cocktails!
13 |
Served with every cocktail comes a little enamel tin of lovely chilli-coated popcorn, just the moreish snack to enjoy whilst sipping on whatever concoction you have requested from the tuxedoed barman. The bar is small, so gets densely packed quickly. But with a free cloakroom just across the entrance hall there’s no reason not to stand and wait for a table, or take a seat at the bar and enjoy watching the cocktails being expertly crafted. The whole bar is decorated with wood panelling, featuring inlaid pictures of biplanes, while the original features of the hotel from days past are proudly on display

While classics such as the Southside and Negroni are always popular, there are some interesting classics on the menu. I’m a fan of the Clover Club, a pre-prohibition cocktail from Philadelphia. Gin, lemon, raspberries, egg white & sugar seems like an odd combination but the sweet and tart raspberries work well with the gin and the raw egg gives a creamy, meringue-like taste. Plus, at Bar Americain you know it’ll be perfectly crafted!

Brunch at Balthazar
11 |
A New York style French brasserie in the heart of Covent Garden, Balthazar makes a great Saturday morning brunch spot, but be sure to book; with the busy tourist scene and shopping in Covent Garden this place is nearly always full by midday.
12 |
I visited Balthazar in March with a friend for a long, luxury brunch. Having become a fan of other French brasseries in the area, such as The Delaunay and Zedel, Balthazar had been high on my list to visit.
13 |
Housed in the old Royal Opera House Theatre Museum, Balthazar shares “The Flower Cellars” building with The London Film Museum (the permanent flower market was originally built for the Covent Garden flower sellers in 1870 and this space was used for storage).
14 |
Keen to keep in-style with the New York equivalent, founder Keith McNally has kept to the rustic, opulent decor we’ve come to expect of an art deco brasserie look. But what about the food…
15 |
Though the hot lunch dishes coming out to tables all around us looked fantastic, we opted to go for the brunch menu. The menu is concise, typically French but with some interesting surprises thrown in. I opted for the poached egg and avocado on toast, topped with tomato salsa, and was not disappointed. And of course, nobody looks out of place with a glass of mimosa at this stylish brasserie, even if it is 11am! The dish was delicious, perfect size for brunch and just the right size to enjoy over a long catch-up and a glass of mimosa. But there’s always room for pudding. We topped off our main course with a sharing hazlenut waffle dish, drizzled with maple syrup and fresh winter berries.

Budget dinner at Bulgari Hotel & Spa
11 |
Yes I did say “budget”. Rivea London is the Alain Ducasse restaurant at Bulgari Hotel in fancy Knightsbridge. If you want to impress someone without crying over the bill, then come here and enjoy the £26 set menu. Just make sure you settle the bill before your guest catches sight of it.
12 |
After a day in London watching Star Wars, four of us prepared to rock up to the Bulgari Hotel, but a quick panic when we realised how fancy this place might be meant a dash around the nearby Zara to buy proper shoes and a nice dress meant we were a little late. Feeling much more acceptable we sat down for the set menu.
13 |
There were plenty of options to choose from even for a small set menu, and no one was disappointed. The sommelier even provided a (probably quite cheap) bottle of wine for the meal, not quite the level of service you’d get from a similar priced meal at Pizza Express.
14 |
The meal even starts with a funny little “condiments test” where you’re given a dish of 9 different flavoursome condiments to enjoy with bread sticks. It was pretty fun trying to work out exactly what each flavour was, and finding your favourite (and then trying to knock your friends off the trail so they didn’t discover the tasty secret. “Try that orange one, this green one is horrible” as you steal all the fresh pesto for yourself).
15 |
The menu changes regularly but it’s a pretty tasty but classic mix of the sort of Italian/French fine dining you might expect of Ducasse. The crab and radish salad, though small, was very tasty indeed and everyone enjoyed a selection of different meat dishes for main. Of course there’s always the mystery of an unheard-of ingredient to try out. But while the food quality was of course excellent, there was nothing spectacular. The interior is exactly the sort of glossy hotel look one would expect from Bulgari and the food is similar – tasty, a bit flashy but really nothing that jumps out at you.
16 |
This would make a great place to bring a friend to impress, but if you want a bit of luxury there are other, more interesting places to eat in London. Maybe the a la carte menu has more to offer.

Roast for breakfast
11 |
Not quite a roast beef dinner, but Roast, the restaurant above Borough Market famous for it’s Sunday servings now does an amazing breakfast feast that lives up to their fantastic dinners.
12 |
We went here for Kris’ birthday breakfast as I wanted to surprise him with a nice sit down meal, somewhere that felt a little “fancy” but still offered a tasty full breakfast.
13 |
Bucks fizz of course is always a good idea, especially at birthday brunch. This plus a nice iced coffee went perfectly with the gorgeous breakfast. There are a number of different options, not just full breakfasts, but all use British produce, some purchased from the market that sits just below you.
14 |
Roast is located in the Flower Hall that sits above Borough Market, with glass walls on nearly all sides so you can peer down at the goings-on in the market stalls. It’s a really interesting vantage point.
15 |
But the restaurant, despite it’s location amongst this brash and exciting part of London, is still quite refined. Crisp white tablecloths, smartly dressed waiters and a personal lift up the restaurant, so it’s still somewhere you can get dressed up to visit.
16 |
After seeing the open-plan kitchen and the huge carving blocks I decided this place was definitely worth a visit for dinner, as it did feel a little bit odd going to “Roast” and having breakfast. We booked ourselves in for a dinner straight away, but that’s for another review.
17 |
Oh and if you do fancy sampling the cuisine before you go to roast, they have a small stand in the market just below the restaurant selling roast baguettes, baps and more. Definitely a good option for a late lunch snack but I’d save that for a day when you haven’t filled yourself up on brekkie!

Stop for a Scoop in Seven Dials
11 |
Nothing better than a day out in Seven Dials with a stop for tasty ice-cream. Scoop, a small Italian gelato and dessert shop sells some of the best ice cream in London, that’s my personal opinion but also one shared with Time Out magazine who rated it 5 stars!
12 |
The orange-fronted cafe is on Shorts Gardens so just nearby to all the shops and bars around the Seven Dials area, perfect for a quick drop-in. And I do seem to find myself dropping in here with friends often, mainly for their gorgeous Amarena gelato (a creamy gelato mixed with a syrupy cherry coulis and crushed sweet cherries. It’s amazing, if you see Amarena anywhere you have got to try it!) Though I’m a big fan of their dulce de leche too.
13 |
I’ve also recently learnt that Scoop is now available on Deliveroo so you can get tasty gelato sent direct to your home or office, or maybe the park for a picnic? It would certainly make for a more interesting delivery if you’re hosting a lunch meeting than boring soggy sandwiches.
14 |
Scoop also sells a range of yummy looking crepe dishes, cakes, coffees and more. Though I must admit I’ve never been able to tear myself away from the ice cream to try any of their other desserts, their coffee is really delicious and much better than some of the highstreet chains nearby. So it’s worth popping in for a quick coffee too.
15 |
There is sometimes a queue at the front of the shop on particularly busy days but don’t let it put you off, it’s still well worth waiting – the ice cream will taste even sweeter.
