(This is a sponsored post.) Say you have an address that your user typed in, like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC, USA and now you need more information about it. Maybe you need the proper country code. Maybe you need the latitude and longitude. Maybe you need the postal code....

Getting Started with Front End Testing

20.1.2020
Amy Kapernick covers four types of testing that front-end devs could and should be doing: Linting (There's ESLint for JavaScript and Stylelint or Prettier for CSS.) Accessibility Testing (Amy recommends pa11y, and we've covered Axe.) Visual Regression Testing (Amy recommends Backstop, and we've...

Timeless Web Dev Articles

18.1.2020
Pavithra Kodmad asked people for recommendations on what they thought were some of the most timeless articles about web development that have changed their perspective in some way. Fun! I'm gonna scour the thread and link up my favorites (that are actually articles, although not all of them...

Autumn (macOS window manager)

17.1.2020
I love how nerdy this is. Autumn allows you to write JavaScript to control your windows. Get this window, move it over here. Nudge this window over. There are all sorts of APIs, like keyboard command helpers and doing things on events, like waking up from sleep. I love that it exists, but for...

The Design Squiggle

16.1.2020
I think we all have an intuitive understanding that, at the beginning of projects that require our creativity (be it design or code), things feel uncertain and messy. Then, as we go, things tend to straighten out. There is still some wiggling and setbacks, but by the end, we find a single solution...

Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React

15.1.2020
I find it notable when the blog of a major accessibility-focused company like Deque publishes an article called Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React. Mark Steadman is essentially saying if a site has bad accessibility, it ain't React... it's you. The tools are there to achieve good...

In Defence of “Serverless” —the term

14.1.2020
Ben Ellerby: For now Serverless, to me at least, manages to do a hard job, defining the borders of a very fluid and complex space of possible solutions in which we can build next-generation architectures. It would help if there was not a framework of the same name, it would help if people didn’t...

A Scandal in Bohemia

13.1.2020
I love that Paravel is so busy doing so much cool stuff they literally just forgot that they built this and are just now releasing it. It's a Sherlock Holmes story, but designed to be more interesting and immersive (even audio!) than just words-on-a-screen. Direct Link to Article —...

Why do we have different programming languages?

13.1.2020
"But why do I have to learn Python?" She wailed, "I like Scratch!" "I know," I said, "But there are different programming languages for different sorts of tasks." "That's stupid" she said I can empathize with the little girl in Terence Eden's story. In high school, I got super into Turbo Pascal....

Top-5 Cryptos This Week (Jan 12): BSV, DASH, LINK, BCH, LTC

12.1.2020
A sharp rally in top crypto performers of the past seven days suggests that altseason has arrived and the sentiment has turned from sell on rallies to buy on dips

Re-creating the ‘His Dark Materials’ Logo in CSS

11.1.2020
The text logo has a slash cut through the text. You set two copies on top of one another, cropping both of them with the clip-path property. What's interesting to me is how many cool design effects require multiple copies of an element to do something cool. To get the extra copy, at least with...

Water.css

11.1.2020
It's notable that Water.css was the #1 clicked thing from Louis Lazaris' Web Tools Weekly in 2019. It's from a 13-year old developer named Felix! It's just a little bit of CSS you apply to class-free semantic HTML to give it nice basic responsive styles — the perfect kind of thing for a...

Things you can do with a browser in 2020

10.1.2020
I edit a good amount of technical articles about the web, and there is a tendency for authors to be super broad in their opening sentence, like "What we're able to do on the web has expanded greatly over the years." I tend to remove stuff like that because it usually doesn't serve the article well...

Is it better to use ems/rems than px for font-size?

10.1.2020
The answer used to be absolutely yes because, if you used px units, you prevented the text from being resized by the user at all. But browser zoom is the default method for making everything bigger (including text) these days and it works great even if you use px. But... Kathleen McMahon really...

let vs. const

9.1.2020
There are multiple ways to declare variables in JavaScript. We had var, and while that still works like it always has, it is generally said that let and const are replacements to the point we rarely (if ever) need var anymore. This doodle explanation does a pretty good job, if you need...
