Dip Your Toes Into Hardware With WebMIDI

12.12.2019
Did you know there is a well-supported browser API that allows you to interface with interesting and even custom-built hardware using a mature protocol that predates the web? Let me introduce you to MIDI and the WebMIDI API and show you how it presents a unique opportunity for front-end developers...

An Introduction to the Picture-in-Picture Web API

26.11.2019
Picture-in-Picture made its first appearance on the web in the Safari browser with the release of macOS Sierra in 2016. It made it possible for a user to pop a video out into a small floating window that stays above all others, so that they can keep watching while doing other things. It’s an idea...

We are Programmers

22.11.2019
Building websites is programming. Writing HTML and CSS is programming. I am a programmer, and if you're here, reading CSS-Tricks, chances are you're a programmer, too. The thing is, the details in programming layout with CSS are different, for example, than the details in programming API endpoints...

The Typed Object Model

20.11.2019
I help write technical documentation and one feature I've been writing about this year that has really stood out is the Typed Object Model (or Typed OM). If you haven't come across it yet you would be forgiven as it's pretty new. It falls under the CSS Houdini suite of API's and on the surface...

serpstack

19.11.2019
(This is a sponsored post.) Is it your job to keep an eye on your company's search engine placement? Or your clients? Or are you building a tool to do just that? Manually Googling stuff isn't going to scale particularly well there. Wouldn't it be nice if you could hit an API and it would return...

Real-Time Google Search Results API with serpstack (Sponsored)

19.11.2019
In my early web days, I was interested in scraping and collecting data based on the results of Google searches. Scraping Google was easier in those days but now Google search results are so dynamic that you can’t rely on getting the same HTML or data structure back. Add in CAPTCHAs, rate...

The Kind of Development I Like

18.11.2019
I'm turning 40 next year (yikes!) and even though I've been making websites for over 25 years, I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand the kind of development I like. Expectedly, these are not new revelations and my views can be summed up by two older Computer Science adages that pre-date...

An Early Look at the Vue 3 Composition API in the Wild

13.11.2019
I recently had an opportunity to try the new Vue Composition API in a real project to check where it might be useful and how we could use it in the future. Until now, when we were creating a new component we were using Options API. That API forced us to separate the component’s code by options...

Making an Audio Waveform Visualizer with Vanilla JavaScript

12.11.2019
As a UI designer, I’m constantly reminded of the value of knowing how to code. I pride myself on thinking of the developers on my team while designing user interfaces. But sometimes, I step on a technical landmine. A few years ago, as the design director of wsj.com, I was helping to re-design...

scrapestack: An API for Scraping Sites

12.11.2019
(This is a sponsored post.) Not every site has an API to access data from it. Most don't, in fact. If you need to pull that data, one approach is to "scrape" it. That is, load the page in web browser (that you automate), find what you are looking for in the DOM, and take it. You can do this...

Query JSON documents in the Terminal with GROQ

7.11.2019
JSON documents are everywhere today, but they are rarely structured the way you want them to be. They often include too much data, have weirdly named fields, or place the data in unnecessary nested objects. Graph-Relational Object Queries (GROQ) is a query language (like SQL, but different) which...

Simple Scraping API with zenscrape (Sponsored)

5.11.2019
So many developers believe that scraping a URL’s content is easy — just a simple curl and you’re done, right? Nope. CAPTCHAs, rate limitations, origin-specific limitations — they make getting content off the web a nightmare. Luckily we now have services like zenscrape which...

Build a 100% Serverless REST API with Firebase Functions & FaunaDB

31.10.2019
Indie and enterprise web developers alike are pushing toward a serverless architecture for modern applications. Serverless architectures typically scale well, avoid the need for server provisioning and most importantly are easy and cheap to set up! And that’s why I believe the next evolution...

How Cryptocurrency Developers Can Earn Bitcoin Cash With REST APIs

22.10.2019
A recent video by Chris Troutner, Senior Javascript Developer at Bitcoin.com, points out a problem with anti-profit seeking approaches to crypto development, and how devs can incentivize growth and attract business using REST APIs to earn BHC. Without incentives, Troutner notes, many promising...

Two Images and an API: Everything We Need for Recoloring Products

11.10.2019
I recently found a solution to dynamically update the color of any product image. So with just one <img> of a product, we can colorize it in different ways to show different color options. We don’t even need any fancy SVG or CSS to get it done! We’ll be using an image editor (e.g. Photoshop...
