Make it Personal
12.12.2020
One thing I noticed about building websites in 2020: despite all the social networks and publishing platforms craving our content, our stories, and our attention, people are somehow still building personal websites. Over the course of the year, many of you have launched or relaunched your website....
There is No Normal
12.12.2020
This year I learned, or relearned maybe, that “normal” is subjective at best, and pretty misleading otherwise. If this forsaken year has taught us anything, it’s that there is no such thing as normal. Things change. People adapt. Everything is relative to everything else.
Besides being quite...
What Are You Playing This Weekend?
11.12.2020
This weekend is about getting my children to tell me what they want for Christmas beyond “a toy.” It’s also about not putting Cyberpunk screenshots where you’d expect them, like in a “What are you playing this weekend?” post. Read more
Let’s Create a Lightweight Native Event Bus in JavaScript
11.12.2020
An event bus is a design pattern (and while we’ll be talking about JavaScript here, it’s a design pattern in any language) that can be used to simplify communications between different components. It can also be thought of as publish/subscribe or pubsub.
The idea is that components can listen...
Why I love Tailwind
11.12.2020
Max Stoiber wrote some interesting notes about why he loves Tailwind. (Max created styled-components, so he has some skin in the styling methodology game.) There’s a lot of great history in this post about how Tailwind emerged and became a valuable tool for designers and engineers alike, but...

Unconventional Stock Image Sources
10.12.2020
This year, I learned that there is a wide world of free stock imagery available beyond Unsplash and Pexels. You see, I’ve been working on designing WordPress themes this year, and all images need to be compatible with the GPL. Unsplash and Pexels both have free and open licenses, but unfortunately...
It’s all relative.
10.12.2020
I remember sitting in the back seat of our family’s Subaru station wagon. I was six and this was long before child carseats were a thing. My dad was at the wheel and my mom played 20 Questions with me while we drove to some vacation spot I can’t even remember.
It was my mom’s turn...

10.12.2020
Black isn’t always slimming.
When recently testing a dark mode option for one of my sites, I experienced first-hand the issue that Robin Rendle addresses in this article. All of my page text — headings and body copy — appeared to bulk up when I switched to dark mode. And it didn’t matter what fonts...
You Can Turn Down Alcohol In Cyberpunk 2077
10.12.2020
Cyberpunk 2077 gives players a lot of choices, from how you approach missions to how you deal with interpersonal situations. This freedom extends to character-creator options you’ll never even think about again, like choosing your character’s teeth or genitals. But one bit of choice I wasn’t...
Exšéf výzkumu v Salesforce chce porazit Google. Založil You.com
10.12.2020
Richard Socher chce pokořit Google a vyvinout lepší vyhledávač. To je poměrně smělé prohlášení, tentokrát za ním ale nestojí kdejaký naivní snílek, ale někdejší šéf výzkumu v Salesforce, který na Twitteru krátce představil nový projekt s prostým názvem you.com.

2020 was not a good year for learning
10.12.2020
There, I said it.
What did I learn about building websites in 2020? A lot. But what I learned is not nearly as important as how I learned it. So instead, I want to share a couple of strategies I used to unblock learning in less-than-ideal times.
I spent almost a decade teaching design and, let...
