Nested Gradients with background-clip
28.8.2019
I can't say I use background-clip all that often. I'd wager it's hardly ever used in day-to-day CSS work. But I was reminded of it in a post by Stefan Judis, which consistently was itself a learning-response post to a post over here by Ana Tudor.
Here's a quick explanation.

Hey,
it’s been already four weeks since the last edition. I’ve been on vacation for two weeks and around that, as many of you probably can relate, work is crazy. Before going off you have to finish things and when you come back, you’re overwhelmed by what happend during your absence. And...
Fix Touch Bar Volume Buttons
30.6.2019
The touch bar on MacBooks has been a source of controversy since the beginning. Many mourned the loss of the escape key, while others refused to buy a new laptop to avoid the touch bar completely. I’ve not had many issues with the touch bar but mostly because I don’t really use it. One necessary...
Do you need an ICON ONLY button without screwing up the accessibility?
3.6.2019
The first consideration is: do you really? If you can, having text next to your icons is proven over and over again to be the most accessible and clearest UX (see Apple's latest blunder). But if you need to (and I get it, sometimes you need to), Sara Soueidan and Scott O'Hara have a pair...

Using Local with Flywheel

Have you seen Local by Flywheel? It's a native app for helping set up local WordPress developer environments. I absolutely love it and use it to do all my local WordPress development work. It brings a lovingly designed GUI to highly technical tasks in a way that I think works very well. Plus...

The ineffectiveness of lonely icons
11.2.2019
Icons are great and all, but as we've been shown time and time again, they often don't do the job all by themselves. Even if you do a good job with the accessibility part and make sure there is accompanying text there for assistive technology, in an ironic twist, you might be confusing people...

18.1.2019
Hey,
What’s better to start the new year with new experiments? Today I figured it was time to rethink JavaScript tooling in one of my projects. And since we wrote everything in plain ECMAScript modules already, I thought it would be easy to serve them natively now and remove all the build...

9.5.2018
There are a variety of "buttons" in HTML. You've got:

Plus, for better or worse, people like having links that are styled to match the look of other true buttons on the site
<a href="#0"...

A common UI pattern that we see on the web are dropdown menus. They’re used to display related information in pieces, without overwhelming the user with buttons, text, and options. Somewhere that we see these a lot is inside of headers or navigation areas on websites.
