Create the Google Button Effect with CSS
27.7.2018
I always found Google’s branding simple but grew to realize that was the beauty in their design; there’s something about “just enough” that is the perfect balance between bland and over the top. GMail’s design grew old over the years and Google just got around...

Build Firefox Faster with Artifact Builds

Working on Firefox DevTools has always been a dream of mine, mostly because it feels like the ultimate way to give back to the development community and those that helped me become a success. And when I explain who Mozilla is and people ask “Oh, so you work on Firefox?!”, I can finally...
Build a state management system with vanilla JavaScript
