Let’s Make One of Those Fancy Scrolling Animations Used on Apple Product Pages
22.5.2020
Apple is well-known for the sleek animations on their product pages. For example, as you scroll down the page products may slide into view, MacBooks fold open and iPhones spin, all while showing off the hardware, demonstrating the software and telling interactive stories of how the products...
Unprefixed `appearance `
18.5.2020
It’s interesting how third-parties are sometimes super involved in pushing browser things forward. One big story there was how Bloomberg hired Igalia to implement CSS grid across the browsers.
Here’s another story of Bocoup doing that, this time for the appearance property. The story...
Comparing Social Media Outlets for Developer Tips
15.5.2020
As a little experiment, I shared a development tip on three different social networks. I also tried to post it in a format that was most suitable for that particular social network:
On Twitter, I made it a thread.
On Instagram, I made it a series of images.
On YouTube, I made it a video.

No-Comma Color Functions in CSS
4.5.2020
There have been a couple of viral tweets about this lately, one from Adam Argyle and one from Mathias Bynes. This is a nice change that makes CSS a bit more clear. Before, every single color function actually needs two functions, one for transparency and one without, this eliminates that need...

Advice for Writing a Technical Resume
27.4.2020
Marco Rogers asked a very good question on Twitter:
I talk to a lot of people new to tech from non-traditional backgrounds, e.g. bootcamps or self-taught. I'm looking for good information for those people on how to build out a strong resume when they don't have work experience yet. Advice...
“The title ‘Front-End Developer’ is obsolete.”
24.4.2020
That title is from the opening tweet of a thread from Benjamin De Cock. I wouldn’t go that far, myself. What I like about the term is that ‘Front-End’ literally means the browser, and while the job has been changing quite a lot — and is perhaps fracturing before our eyes — the fact that...
Chrome + System Fonts Snafu
24.4.2020
There was just a bug late last year where system fonts (at least on Mac, I don’t know what the story was on other platforms) in Chrome appeared too thin and tracked-in at small sizes and too thick and tracked-out at larger sizes. That one was fixed, thankfully. But while it was a problem,...
Thank You, Christopher Schmitt
16.4.2020
It’s incredibly sad that Christopher Schmitt passed away last week¹. I keep thinking about how Christopher was one of the best dudes I knew. Just incredibly kind and thoughtful all the way through. I know everyone says that about people after they pass, but I really mean it here. I’m...

The WebAIM Million—Updated
8.4.2020
This report made a big splash last year. It’s a large chunk of research that shows just how terribly the web does with accessibility. It’s been updated this year and (drumroll…) we got a little worse. I’ll use their blockquote:
The number of errors increased 2.1% between...

Rethinking Code Comments
2.4.2020
Justin Duke asks if treating code comments like footnotes could help us understand the code in a file better. In his mockup, all the comments are hidden by default and require a click to reveal:
What a neat idea! Justin’s design reminds me of the way that Instapaper treated inline...

And the start attribute can be added to begin the list at a number other...
Emojis as Favicons
24.3.2020
Lea Verou had a dang genius idea to use an emoji as a favicon. The idea only recently possible as browsers have started supporting SVG for favicons. Chuck an emoji inside an SVG <text element and use that as the favicon.
Now that all modern browsers support SVG favicons, here's how...
Flexible Repeating SVG Masks
22.3.2020
Tyler Gaw reminds us that mask-image can repeat, resize, and move just like background-image does, which is fun to combine and play with. I could see it being a fun option for an <hr, like Sara is doing.

Neumorphism and CSS
20.3.2020
Neumorphism (aka neomorphism) is a relatively new design trend and a term that’s gotten a good amount of buzz lately. It’s aesthetic is marked by minimal and real-looking UI that’s sort of a new take on skeuomorphism — hence the name. It got its name in a UX Collective post from December 2019,...
