How to Make a Media Query-less Card Component
1.9.2020
Fun fact: it’s possible to create responsive components without any media queries at all. Certainly, if we had container queries, those would be very useful for responsive design at the component level. But we don’t.

3.7.2020
Creating fluid images when they stand alone in a layout is easy enough nowadays. However, with more sophisticated interfaces we often have to place images inside responsive elements, like this card:
For now, let’s say this image is not semantic content, but only decoration. That’s...

Turning a Fixed-Size Object into a Responsive Element
11.5.2020
I was in a situation recently where I wanted to show an iPhone on a website.
