Let’s say you’re a designer. Cool. You’ve been hired to do some design work for a conference. All kinds of stuff. Website. Printed schedules. Big posters for the rooms. Preroll slides. You name it.

A Community-Driven Site with Eleventy: Preparing for Contributions
19.8.2020
I’ve recently found myself reaching for Eleventy (aka 11ty) above all other tools when I want to develop a website. It’s hard to beat a static site generator that provides advanced templating opportunities while otherwise getting out of your way and allowing you to just create.

Can you get valid CSS property values from the browser?
19.8.2020
I had someone write in with this very legit question. Lea just blogged about how you can get valid CSS properties themselves from the browser. That’s like this.
CodePen Embed Fallback
That gives you, for example, the fact that cursor is a thing. But then how do you know what valid values...
Timer Bars in CSS with Custom Properties
18.8.2020
I was working on a thing the other day that needed a visible timer. There was UI precedent for this type of timer on the project. People didn’t want to see numbers ticking downward; it was more ideal to see a “bar” drain away from full to empty. I mention that because there...
Queue Jumping in Netlify
18.8.2020
Cutting to the chase: if you’re on a Business or Enterprise team on Netlify, you can click a build to make it run next in a queue. For example, if you have a really time-sensitive thing (e.g. a bug fix going to production), it can jump ahead of some random development branch building....
radEventListener: a Tale of Client-side Framework Performance
18.8.2020
React is popular, popular enough that it receives its fair share of criticism. Yet, this criticism of React isn’t completely unwarranted: React and ReactDOM total about 120 KiB of minified JavaScript, which definitely contributes to slow startup time. When client-side rendering in React is relied...

You know we do video screencasts, right? It’s not, like, super regular, but I have done them for a long time, still like doing them, and plan to keep doing them. I publish them here, but you can subscribe over on YouTube as well.
I’ve had a couple of different custom video intro...
What Happens When Border Radii Overlap?
17.8.2020
I’d wager that most times we’re rounding box corners in CSS, we’re applying a uniform border-radius value across the border. It’s a nice touch of polish in many designs. But there are times when we might want different radii for different corners. Easy, right? That way the property takes four...

Hey gang! I’ve been fortunate enough to be a guest in a variety of different here, so I thought it was time for another Chronicle post. You know, those special posts where I round up the random goings-on of things I do off of this site.
I joined Ed & Tom over on A Question of Code.

That’s Just How I Scroll
14.8.2020
How do you know a page (or any element on that page) scrolls? Well, if it has a scrollbar, that’s a pretty good indication. You might still have to scrapple with your client about “the fold” or whatever, but I don’t think anyone is confused at what a scrollbar is or what...
What I Learned by Fixing One Line of CSS in an Open Source Project
14.8.2020
I was browsing the Svelte docs on my iPhone and came across a blaring UI bug. The notch in the in the REPL knob was totally out of whack. I’m always looking to contribute to open source, and I thought this would be a quick and easy fix. Turns out, there was a lot more to it than just changing...

Stacked Cards with Sticky Positioning and a Dash of Sass
13.8.2020
The other day, I spotted this particularly lovely bit from Corey Ginnivan’s website where a collection of cards stack on top of one another as you scroll.
I started wondering how much JavaScript this would involve and how you’d go about making it when I realized — ah! — this must be the work...
