Digging Into React Context

11.6.2018
You may have wondered lately what all the buzz is about Context and what it might mean for you and your React sites. Before Context, when the management of state gets complicated beyond the functionality of setState, you likely had to make use of a third party library. Thanks to recent updates...

Uppy File Uploading

11.6.2018
One of the big tasks I was charged with at my first job was setting up a system by which any customer or potential customer (aka anonymous user) could upload PDF and image files. I had loads of constraints to deal with: browser support, server settings, variance in user tech knowledge, etc....

Creating a VS Code Theme

8.6.2018
Everyone has special and perhaps, particular, tastes when it comes to their code editor. There are literally thousands of themes out there, and for good reason: a thing of beauty and enhancement to productivity for one can be a hindrance to another. It’s been an item on my bucket list to create...

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...

Manipulating Pixels Using Canvas

7.6.2018
Modern browsers support playing video via the <video> element. Most browsers also have access to webcams via the MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API. But even with those two things combined, we can’t really access and manipulate those pixels directly. Fortunately, browsers have a Canvas...

Headless CMS: Fresh Air for Developers

7.6.2018
(This is a sponsored post.) Your current CMS sucks! You know that for some time already but have not decided yet what your next solution should be. You've noticed all the buzz around headless CMS but you're still not sure what is in it for you and how it can solve all your woes. What is...

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...

The web can be anything we want it to be

6.6.2018
I really enjoyed this chat between Bruce Lawson and Mustafa Kurtuldu where they talked about browser support and the health of the web. Bruce expands upon a lot of the thoughts in a post he wrote last year called World Wide Web, Not Wealthy Western Web where he writes: ...across the world...

Animate Images and Videos with curtains.js

6.6.2018
While browsing the latest award-winning websites, you may notice a lot of fancy image distortion animations or neat 3D effects. Most of them are created with WebGL, an API allowing GPU-accelerated image processing effects and animations. They also tend to use libraries built on top of WebGL such...

What’s Next for Hybrid App Developers? (Sponsored)

5.6.2018
The story of hybrid application development is a never-ending one. Each framework has to continuously strive and innovate to remain relevant, and the discussion of which framework to use is a question often asked. Most hybrid applications are built using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript....

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...

Combining the Powers of SEM and BIO for Improving CSS

4.6.2018
CSS is easy, some might argue, but that "easiness" can cause messy code. This is especially true through power of preprocessors like Sass or Less where, if you aren’t careful, your CSS can become harder to deal with instead of easier. Sass? Harder? This Gist shows a great example of Sass nesting...

HSL() / HSLa() is great for programmatic color control

1.6.2018
If you ever need to hand-manipulate a color in native CSS, HSL is pretty much the only way. HSL (the hsl() and hsla() functions in CSS) stands for hue, saturation, lightness, and optionally, alpha. We've talked about it before but we can break it down a little more and do some interesting things...

In this episode: David blames his wife for getting sick and missing last week’s show, Todd’s got a new Jeep, and David then blames his wife for not letting him have a Jeep. Oh, and Max Lynch of Ionic Framework fame stops by to talk about Ionic, Stencil, Web Components, the state...

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...

Frustration

31.5.2018
Jeremy Keith talks about a couple of recent frustrating moments in his life. One regarding a musical instrument, one involving a build process: That feeling of frustration I get from having wiring issues with a musical instrument is the same feeling I get whenever something goes awry with my...

Forms, Auth and Serverless Functions on Gatsby and Netlify

31.5.2018
Abstracting infrastructure is in our DNA. Roads, schools, water supply networks—you get the idea. Web development is no exception: serverless architectures are a beautiful expression of that phenomenon. Static sites, in particular, are turning into dynamic, rich experiences. Handling static...
