Using requestAnimationFrame with React Hooks

21.8.2019
Animating with requestAnimationFrame should be easy, but if you haven’t read React’s documentation thoroughly then you will probably run into a few things that might cause you a headache. Here are three gotcha moments I learned the hard way. TLDR: Pass an empty array as a second parameter...

Other Ways to SPAs

21.8.2019
That rhymed lolz. I mentioned on a podcast the other day that I sorta think WordPress should ship with Turbolinks. It's a rather simple premise: Build a server-rendered site. Turbolinks intercepts clicks on same-origin links. It uses AJAX for the HTML of the new page and replaces the current page...

Getting Netlify Large Media Going

20.8.2019
I just did this the other day so I figured I'd blog it up. There is a thing called Git Large File Storage (Git LFS). Here's the entire point of it: it keeps large files out of your repo directly. Say you have 500MB of images on your site and they kinda need to be in the repo so you can work with...

Let Mavo Shine in Building Interactive Web Applications

6.8.2019
As you could guess from the title, this tutorial is dedicated to Mavo: a new, approachable way to create complex, reactive, persistent web applications just by writing HTML and CSS, without a single line of JavaScript and no server backend. 🐇 Follow the white rabbit! Mavo is developed...

Branching Out from the Great Divide

2.8.2019
I like the term Front-End Developer. It's encapsulates the nature of your job if your concerns are: Building UIs for web browsers The spectrum of devices and platforms those web browsers run on The people who use those web browsers and related assistive technology The breadth of knowledge...

Making a Realistic Glass Effect with SVG

1.8.2019
I’m in love with SVG. Sure, the code can look dense and difficult at first, but you’ll see the beauty in the results when you get to know it. The bonus is that those results are in code, so it can be hooked up to a CMS. Your designers can rest easy knowing they don't have to reproduce an effect...

A More Accessible Portals Demo

31.7.2019
The point of the <portal> element (behind a flag in Chrome Canary) is that you can preload another whole page (like <iframe>), but then have APIs to animate it to the current page. So "Single Page App"-like functionality (SPA), but natively. I think that's pretty cool. I'm a fan...

Intrinsically Responsive CSS Grid with minmax() and min()

31.7.2019
The most famous line of code to have come out of CSS grid so far is: grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(10rem, 1fr)); Without any media queries, that will set up a grid container that has a flexible number of columns. The columns will stretch a little, until there is enough room...

Telling the Story of Graphic Design

26.7.2019
Let me just frame this for you: we're going to take a piece of production UI from a Sketch file, break it down into pieces of information and then build it up into a story we tell our friends. Our friends might be hearing, or seeing, or touching the story so we are going to interpret and translate...

Pseudo Code

23.7.2019
Yonatan Doron wrote a post on Medium not long ago called "Art of Code — Why you should write more Pseudo Code." Love that title, as a fan of pseudo code myself. That is, writing "code" that describes something you want to do or communicate, but that isn't of any particular language and doesn't...

Zoom, CORS, and the Web

23.7.2019
It's sorta sad by funny that that big Zoom vulnerability thing was ultimately related to web technology and not really the app itself. There is this idea of custom protocols or "URL schemes." So, like gittower:// or dropbox:// or whatever. A native app can register them, then URLs that hit them...

Using GraphQL Playground with Gatsby

18.7.2019
I’m assuming most of you have already heard about Gatsby, and at least loosely know that it’s basically a static site generator for React sites. It generally runs like this: Data Sources → Pull data from anywhere. Build → Generate your website with React and GraphQL. Deploy → Send the site to...

Improving Video Accessibility with WebVTT

17.7.2019
"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect." - Tim Berners-Lee Accessibility is an important element of web development, and with the ever-growing prevalence of video content, the necessity for captioned content is growing...

A Peek at New Methods Coming to Promises

16.7.2019
Promises are one of the most celebrated features introduced to JavaScript. Having a native asynchronous artifact baked right into the language has opened up a new era, changing not only how we write code but also setting up the base for other freat APIs — like fetch! Let's step back a moment...

The Fight Against Layout Jank

11.7.2019
A web page isn't locked in stone just because it has rendered visually. Media assets, like images, can come in and cause the layout to shift based on their size, which typically isn't known in fluid layouts until they do render. Or fonts can load and reflow layout. Or XHRs can bring in more content...

Graphical User Interfaces for Git

3.7.2019
Git is command-line-driven software, but that doesn't mean you have to use the command line to make it work. There are lots of options! Some of the deepest programmer nerds I know prefer to use GUIs for Git (Graphic User Interface, or you know, software you can see things and click stuff), and some...

Spam Detection APIs

25.6.2019
I was trying to research the landscape of these the other day — And by research, I mean light Googling and asking on Twitter. Weirdly, very little comes to mind when thinking about spam detection APIs. I mean some kind of URL endpoint, paid or not, where you can hit it with a block of text...
