Sticky Table of Contents with Scrolling Active States

Say you have a two-column layout: a main column with content. Say it has a lot of content, with sections that requires scrolling. And let's toss in a sidebar column that is largely empty, such that you can safely put a position: sticky; table of contents over there for all that content in the main...
“resize: none;” on textareas is bad UX
30.1.2020
Catalin Rosu:
Sometimes you need to type a long reply that consists of many paragraphs and wrapping that text within a tiny textarea box makes it hard to understand and to follow as you type. There were many times when I had to write that text within Notepad++ for example and then just paste...

How Do You Do max-font-size in CSS?
30.1.2020
CSS doesn't have max-font-size, so if we need something that does something along those lines, we have to get tricky.
Why would you need it at all? Well, font-size itself can be set in dynamic ways. For example, font-size: 10vw;. That's using "viewport units" to size the type, which will...
Resizing Values in Steps in CSS
30.1.2020
There actually is a steps() function in CSS, but it's only used for animation. You can't, for example, tell an element it's allowed to grow in height but only in steps of 10px. Maybe someday? I dunno. There would have to be some pretty clear use cases that something like background-repeat: space...

This is a button in a JSX React component that has a click handler applied directly to it that fires a data mutation Ajax request through Apollo GraphQL. That is about the least...
