Hyperlinking Beyond the Web

11.7.2018
Hyperlinks are the oldest and the most popular feature of the web. The word hypertext (which is the ht in http/s) means text having hyperlinks. The ability to link to other people’s hypertext made the web, a web — a set of connected pages. This fundamental feature has made the web a very...

Reinvest Your Time with HelloSign API

5.7.2018
HelloSign API makes it simple to embed secure and legally binding eSignatures directly into any website. It's 2x faster to implement than other eSign solutions and is also the only eSign API that allows customers to completely white label the integration, meaning our customers can give their...

One-Offs

2.7.2018
There is this sentiment that you don't design the homepage of a site first. For most sites, it's an anomaly. It's unlike any other page and not something to base the patterns you use for the rest of the site or help inform other pages. You might call it a one-off.1 One-offs are OK! A world without...

Better rendering for variable fonts

26.6.2018
I was messing around with a variable font the other day and noticed this weird rendering issue in the latest version of Chrome where certain parts of letterforms were clipping into each other in a really weird way. Thankfully, though, Stephen Nixon has come to the rescue with a temporary hack...

Count Frames in an Animated GIF

26.6.2018
The animated GIF always makes me chuckle; on one hand they seem like a relic of the “old web”, on the other hand they aren’t going anywhere and their meme-like presence seem to only make them more popular. If you browse through my media blog posts archives, you’ll notice...

Easy Document Signing with the Eversign Chrome Extension

25.6.2018
A while back I wrote about Eversign, an awesome service that allows you and your clients or partners to digitally sign documents online. If you’ve recently bought a house or did any other large purchases or agreements, you know how important the ability to reliably sign documents online is. ...

Users DO Change Font Size

24.6.2018
Evan Minto: The question was “How many users browse the main Internet Archive site with a default font size other than the common value of 16 pixels?” By knowing this, we would determine how many users would be affected by sizing with relative units like rems/ems. Using the methodology I describe...

Balancing Time

22.6.2018
I first wrote this post four years ago. I put it on a blog that no longer exists. Funnily enough, I still refer to it myself, so I figured it might be best served in a place where other people can see it. I've made only a few minor tweaks to the original content. A lot about how I work has changed...

Blockchain’s Once-Feared 51% Attack Is Now Becoming Regular

8.6.2018
At least five cryptocurrencies have recently been hit with a 51% attack, a vulnerability users used to scoff at

World wide wrist

7.6.2018
After all the hubbub with WWDC over the past couple of days, Ethan Marcotte is excited about the news that the Apple Watch will be able to view web content. He writes: If I had to guess, I’d imagine some sort of “reader mode” is coming to the Watch: in other words, when you open a link on your...

console.logTime

7.6.2018
I work on a really complex debugger at Mozilla but, and don’t tell my colleagues, I sometimes enjoy simply using console.log and other console commands to get some simple output. I know, I know, but hey — whatever gets the job done. A few years ago I detailed console.time...

1 Element CSS Rainbow Gradient Infinity

5.6.2018
I first got the idea to CSS something of the kind when I saw this gradient infinity logo by Infographic Paradise. The gradient doesn't look like in the original illustration, as I chose to generate the rainbow logically instead of using the Dev Tools picker or something like that, but other than...

The State of Changing Gradients with CSS Transitions and Animations

1.6.2018
Back in 2012, Internet Explorer 10 came out and, among other things, it finally supported CSS gradients and, in addition to that, the ability to animate them with just CSS! No other browser supported this at the time, but I was hopeful for the future. Sadly, six years have passed and nothing...

OpenRates Currency API (Sponsored)

30.5.2018
Creating your own APIs can be a total nightmare: worrying about uptime, load balancing, data accuracy, caching, and all of the other risks would keep me up at night. And if your API relates to money in any way? If you get that wrong you could be costing yourself, your employer, or your client...

I stumbled upon this site the other day from Mozilla that’s a collection of recipes to get started with a Service Worker — from caching strategies and notifications to providing an offline fallback to your users, this little cookbook has it all. You can also check out our guide to making...

Regain Disk Space from Homebrew

21.5.2018
One of my favorite utilities is Homebrew, the shell utility for installing and upgrading other utilities — it’s a lazy developer’s dream. Dreams can easily turn to nightmares, however, and I recently learned that Homebrew caches older versions of installed packages, leading...

The backdrop-filter CSS property

16.5.2018
I had never heard of the backdrop-filter property until yesterday, but after a couple of hours messing around with it I’m positive that it’s nothing more than magic. This is because it adds filters (like changing the hue, contrast or blur) of the background of an element without changing the text...
