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...

25.5.2018
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.

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...
Turn Sublime Text 3 into a JavaScript IDE
11.5.2018
Sublime Text is one of the most popular editors for web development and software development in general. It’s very smooth and fast compared to other editors (being written in C++ helps that speed). Sublime also has tons of plugins you can find through Package Control.
But it’s only a text editor...
Overriding Default Button Styles
9.5.2018
There are a variety of "buttons" in HTML. You've got:
<button>Button</button>
<input type="button" value="Button">
Plus, for better or worse, people like having links that are styled to match the look of other true buttons on the site
<a href="#0"...
VS Code Can Do That?
7.5.2018
Clever microsite from Burke Holland and Sarah Drasner that highlights some of VS Code's coolest features. All fifteen of them are pretty darn cool. Here's a few other compelling features I've seen people use/love:
There is a terminal right in there, so you don't need a separate app.
The GitLens...
Inspecting Animations in DevTools
4.5.2018
I stumbled upon the Animation panel in Chrome’s DevTools the other day and almost jumped out of my seat with pure joy. Not only was I completely unaware that such a thing exists, but it was better than what I could’ve hoped: it lets you control and manipulate CSS animations and visualize...
Wakamai Fondue
1.5.2018
Roel Nieskens released a tool that lets you upload a font file and see what’s inside, from how many characters it contains to the number of languages it supports. Here’s what you see once you upload a font, in this case Covik Sans Mono Black:
Why is this data useful? Well, I used this tool just...

An Indie Shooter Where One Team’s Invincible, The Other’s Invisible
16.6.2017
Competitive first-person shooters operate on all sorts of sets of unspoken rules. Teams should be, more or less, evenly powered. Opponents should die occasionally. Everyone should be visible—at least, most of the time. Aftercharge aims to break those rules.Read more
