24.11.2020
I’m thoroughly convinced that SVG unlocks a whole entire world of building interfaces on the web. It might seem daunting to learn SVG at first, but you have a spec that was designed to create shapes and yet, still has elements, like text, links, and aria labels available to you.

Graphery SVG
24.11.2020
I’ve compared SVG and Canvas before. If you’re trying to decide between them, read that. I’d say the #1 difference between them is vector (SVG) versus raster (Canvas). But the #2 difference is how you work with them. SVG is declarative, as in, literal elements that express what they are through...

I like working with styled-components. They allow you write CSS in your JavaScript, keeping your CSS in very close proximity to your JavaScript for a single component.

A Dynamically-Sized Sticky Sidebar with HTML and CSS
20.11.2020
Creating page content that sticks to the viewport as you scroll, something like a jump-to-anchor menu or section headings, has never been easier.
