The Serif Tax

9.4.2019
Fonts are vector. Vector art with more points makes for larger files than vector art with fewer points. Custom fonts are downloaded. So, fonts with less points in their vector art are smaller. That's the theory anyway. Shall we see if there is any merit to it? Open Sans (top) and Garamond...

Using a Mixin to Take the Math out of Responsive Font Sizes

9.4.2019
Responsive Font Size (RFS) is an engine that automatically calculates and updates the font-size property on elements based on the dimensions of the browser viewport.

Since ffmpeg does...

Native Lazy Loading

9.4.2019
IntersectionObserver has made lazy loading a lot easier and more efficient than it used to be, but to do it really right you still gotta remove the src and such, which is cumbersome. It's definitely not as easy as: <img src="celebration.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="..." /> Addy Osmani says...

AI-Based Video Preview from Cloudinary (Sponsored)

8.4.2019
The early days of video on the web weren’t great. We started with custom browser plugins and codecs, then moved to Flash, and eventually we found our way HTML <video>. Once we solved the technology problem, we started using more video for content and advertising. The next problem...

Going Full-Time on Scotch.io After 5 Years!

Undefined: The Third Boolean Value

5.4.2019
I wanted to implement a notification message in one of my projects, similar to what you’d see in Google Docs while a document is saving. In other words, a message shows up indicating that the document is saving every time a change is made. Then, once the changes are saved, the message becomes: “All...

Revisiting the Rendering Tier

5.4.2019
Have you ever created a well-intentioned, thoughtful design system only to watch it grow into an ever-increasing and scary codebase? I've been working in sort of the opposite direction, inheriting the scary codebase and trying to create a thoughtful system from it. Here's Alex Sanders on the topic...

Decaying Sites

4.4.2019
Websites have a tendency to decay all by themselves. Link rot, they call it. Unpaid domain name registrations. Companies that have gone out of business. Site owners that have lost interest. What's sadder than a 404? Landing on a holding page of a URL that used to exist, but now has fallen into...

A Couple of New Wufoo Tips

4.4.2019
(This is a sponsored post.) High fives to Wufoo, our long-time sponsor here on CSS-Tricks. It's powered the vast majority of forms I've built over the past decade.

Fixed Headers, On-Page Links, and Overlapping Content, Oh My!

3.4.2019
Let's take a basic on-page link: <a href="#section-two">Section Two</a> When clicked, the browser will scroll itself to the element with that ID: <section id="section-two"></section>. A browser feature as old as browsers themselves, just about. But as soon as...

Responsible JavaScript

3.4.2019
We just made a note about this article by Jeremy Wagner in our newsletter but it’s so good that I think it’s worth linking to again as Jeremy writes about how our obsession with JavaScript can lead to accessibility and performance issues: What we tend to forget is that the environment websites...

What Are Design Tokens?

3.4.2019
I’ve been hearing a lot about design tokens lately, and although I’ve never had to work on a project that’s needed them, I think they’re super interesting and worth jotting down a few notes about. As I understand it, the general idea is this: design tokens are an agnostic way to store variables...

Make it hard to screw up driven development

2.4.2019
Development is complicated. Our job is an ongoing battle between getting the job done and doing that job in a safe, long-lasting way. Developers say things like, "I'm just going to do this quick and dirty first," because it's taken as fact that if you code anything quickly, it not only will...

Awesome Automation and Integration with Buddy

One of my favorite services for years has been IFTTT (If this then that). Having a service that allows me to trigger a host of functionalities with one simple action is amazing! Posting a picture to Instagram can trigger IFTTT to send a tweet, post to Facebook, email to friends, etc. I’ve...
