Make Yourself a Little API With Netlify Functions

10.3.2020
Here's an example of a nice little use case for cloud functions. Glitch has this great package of friendly words. Say you wanted to randomly generate "happy-elephant" or "walking-tree", and you need to do that on your website in JavaScript. Well, this package is pretty big (~200 KB), necessarily...

Geoff’s Redesign Posts

I love it when people redesign "in the open" and write about it. I'd just like to shout out to our own Geoff who has been doing this for 3 months now. He started in late December last year. He's been sharing stuff like his dev tooling choices, considering performance, considering accessibility...

Currying in CSS

6.3.2020
Funny timing on this I was just looking at the website for Utopia (which is a responsive type project which I hate to admit I don't fully understand) and I came across some CSS they show off that looked like this: :root { --fluid-max-negative: (1 / var(--fluid-max-ratio)...

Where to Learn WordPress Theme Development

28.2.2020
Over a decade ago, I did a little three-part video series on Designing for WordPress. Then I did other series with the same spirit, like videocasting the whole v10 redesign, a friend's website, and even writing a book. Those are getting a little long in the tooth though. You might still learn from...

Do This to Improve Image Loading on Your Website

20.2.2020
Jen Simmons explains how to improve image loading by simply using width and height attributes. The issue is that there’s a lot of jank when an image is first loaded because an img will naturally have a height of 0 before the image asset has been successfully downloaded by the browser. Then it needs...

Old CSS, new CSS

7.2.2020
I love this post that walks through the development of CSS and HTML — it shows just how far web design has come and how much easier it is for us all now. Eevee looks at designing websites with tables, the Space Jam website, and how for centuries there was no way to easily inspect changes made to...

Smaller HTML Payloads with Service Workers

31.1.2020
Short story: Philip Walton has a clever idea for using service workers to cache the top and bottom of HTML files, reducing a lot of network weight. Longer thoughts: When you're building a really simple website, you can get away with literally writing raw HTML. It doesn't take long to need a...

22.1.2020
Here’s a smart post from Manuel Matuzovic where he digs into why accessibility is so important for building websites: Web accessibility is not just about keyboard users, color contrast or screen readers.

JAMstack vs. Jamstack

21.1.2020
It's just a word to evoke the idea that serving as much as you can statically while using client-side code and hitting serverless APIs for any needs after that. The "official website" changed their language from JAMstack (evoking the JavaScript, APIs, and Markup acronym) to Jamstack. It's nothing...

Peter Schiff Forgets Bitcoin Wallet Password, Blames Bitcoin

19.1.2020
Peter Schiff hates Bitcoin almost as much as bitcoiners hate Schiff. The gold bug makes a point of dissing the cryptocurrency whenever he can, despite the hypocrisy of accepting BCT on his own website. Today, the eccentric entrepreneur found a new reason to rip on bitcoin after forgetting...

Third-Party Components at Their Best

16.1.2020
I'm a fan of the componentization of the web. I think it's a very nice way to build a website at just about any scale (except, perhaps, the absolute most basic). There are no shortage of opinions about what makes a good component, but say we scope that to third-party for a moment. That...
