Make a smooth shadow, friend.

19.12.2019
One box-shadow is cool and all, but check out Philipp Brumm's tool for building out comma-separated multiple box-shadows, which result in a much smoother and more natural look. This reminds me very much of the idea for easing linear-gradient. In a gradient, this smoothing effect is handled...

css.gg

18.12.2019
I'm not sure what to call these icons from Astrit Malsija. The title is "500+ CSS Icons, Customizable, Retina Ready & API" and the URL is "css.gg" but they aren't really named anything. Anyway, their shtick is: The 🌎's first icon library designed by code. The idea is that they don't...

Design APIs: The Evolution of Design Systems

17.12.2019
A clever idea from Matthew Ström: [...] design APIs don’t seem like a stretch of the imagination. An API-driven approach is the natural extension of the work currently being done on design systems, including tokens and standardization projects. If you buy into the idea of design tokens, that...

The Origin Story of Container Queries

16.12.2019
Container queries don’t exist today but a lot of web developers have been arguing in their favor lately. At first, the idea sounds relatively simple: whereas media queries allow us to make style changes based on the width of the browser, container queries would allow us to make style updates when...

Blue Beanie Day 2019

13.12.2019
November 30th, the official "Blue Beanie Day," has come and gone. I'm not sure I ever grokked the exact spirit of it, but I've written about what it means to me. Last year: Web standards, as an overall idea, has entirely taken hold and won the day. That's worth celebrating, as the web would...

Yap

13.12.2019
Interesting idea for a "chat room" from Postlight: Create a Yap chat room. Invite others to join and talk. Share a URL of just about anything. Everyone gathering can comment on what you’ve shared. If you think your conversation deserves an audience, share the URL of your chat publicly. Only...

Freak Flags

11.12.2019
I don't see image sprites used that much anymore, but it's still a good technique for reducing downloaded decorative image assets when you have multiple on a page. The big idea is combining all the graphics into one and then shifting around the size and background-position to reveal one at...

The Politics of Destruction

6.12.2019
For some time now, I have been aware of a widespread fascination among many libertarians with Jim Bell’s “Assassination Politics” (AP). At my request, Robert Vroman has defended the merits of AP. In this article, I will argue that AP is just about the single worst idea that...

Simplified Fluid Typography

29.11.2019
Fluid typography is the idea that font-size (and perhaps other attributes of type, like line-height) change depending on the screen size (or perhaps container queries if we had them). The core trickery comes from viewport units. You can literally set type in viewport units (e.g. font-size: 4vw)...

iOS 13 Broke the Classic Pure CSS Parallax Technique

27.11.2019
I know. You hate parallax. You know what we should hate more? When things that used to work on the web stop working without any clear warning or idea why. Way back in 2014, Keith Clark blogged an exceptionally clever CSS trick where you essentially use a CSS transform to scale an element down...

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...

Teaching CSS

19.11.2019
I've been using CSS as a web developer since CSS became something we could actually use. My first websites were built using <font> tags and <table>s for layout. I remember arguments about whether this whole CSS thing was a good idea at all. I was quickly convinced, mostly due to...

BRICS Nations Consider Idea of a Unified Payment System

15.11.2019
BRICS association, which includes five significant national economies namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has recently held its 11th summit on November 13–14 in Brazil. The annual summits of BRICS nations largely emphasize on subjects like science, climate change, technology...

Are There Random Numbers in CSS?

29.10.2019
CSS allows you to create dynamic layouts and interfaces on the web, but as a language, it is static: once a value is set, it cannot be changed. The idea of randomness is off the table. Generating random numbers at runtime is the territory of JavaScript, not so much CSS. Or is it? If we factor in...

How Hard Is It to Brute Force a Bitcoin Private Key?

28.10.2019
Trying to crack a private key with a brute force attack is a bit like trying to count to infinity: the sooner you begin, the faster you’ll never get there. Despite being as next to impossible as impossible gets, using a brute force attack to crack a bitcoin private key remains an intriguing...

Animated Position of Focus Ring

27.10.2019
Maurice Mahan created FocusOverlay, a "library for creating overlays on focused elements." That description is a little confusing at you don't need a library to create focus styles. What the library actually does is animate the focus rings as focus moves from one element to another. It's based...

How to Start a Crypto Podcast

23.10.2019
The idea of starting your own podcast is undeniably appealing. Not only do you get to sound off about a topic that’s close to your heart, but if you opt for the host-and-guest format, you get to engage in stimulating debates with interesting people. But before you rush off to order a USB...
