Drupal to Jamstack
21.4.2020
I’ve been harping for a while that Jamstack doesn’t necessarily mean throwing away your old CMS. In fact, I’d argue that Jamstack is at it’s most powerful when paired with a system that you already know, are comfortable with, and perhaps even like. You’d call that...

The Contrast Triangle
21.4.2020
Chip Cullen:
Let’s say you’re building a site, and you’re working with a designer. They come to you with some solid designs, and you’re ready to go. You’re also a conscientious front end developer and you like to make sure the sites you build are accessible. The designs you’re working from have...

Learn Eleventy From Scratch
7.4.2020
The latest edition of Andy Bell’s Piccalilli landed in my inbox this morning with a sweet offer: preorder Andy’s course on learning Eleventy from scratch at a third of the price.

A Grid of Logos in Squares
6.4.2020
Let’s build a literal grid of squares, and we’ll put the logos of some magazines centered inside each square. I imagine plenty of you have had to build a logo grid before. You can probably already picture it: an area of a site that lists the donors, sponsors, or that is showing off...

[aktualita] Snižovat kvalitu videa nemá smysl a české sítě mají rezervy, říká šéf NIXu
1.4.2020
Vlivem viru COVID-19 a skutečnosti, že je velká část obyvatel doma, v průměru narostl datový tok v NIXu o 25 procent. Podle šéfa tohoto internetového uzlu Adama Goleckého je ale páteř zdravá a sítě mají rezervy. „V pracovní době máme přibližně o 40 % vyšší toky, večerní špička vzrostla asi o 10 %....
APIs and Authentication on the Jamstack
31.3.2020
The first “A” in the Jamstack stands for “APIs” and is a key contributor to what makes working with static sites so powerful. APIs give developers the freedom to offload complexity and provide avenues for including dynamic functionality to an otherwise static site. Often, accessing an API requires...
RSS Stuff
31.3.2020
Laura Kalbag wrote How to read RSS in 2020. This would be a nice place to send someone curious about RSS: what it is, what it’s for, and how you can start using it as a reader. I like this callout, too:

Emergency Website Kit
27.3.2020
Here’s an outstanding idea from Max Böck. He’s created a boilerplate project for building websites that fit within a single HTTP request. This is extremely important for websites that contain critical information for public safety. As Max writes:

Creating an Editable Site with Google Sheets and Eleventy
27.3.2020
Remember Tabletop.js? We just covered it a little bit ago in this same exact context: building editable websites. It’s a tool that turns a Google Sheet into an API, that you as a developer can hit for data when building a website. In that last article, we used that API on the client side, meaning...

Add Beautiful Images with the Unsplash API
26.3.2020
Perhaps you know Unsplash? I'd wager it's the most popular stock photography site out there for two big reasons:
Every photo on there is pretty darn nice
Every photo is entirely free even for commercial use. You don't have to ask permission or even credit it (although that's appreciated).

The other day I was helping my pal Jez work Dept. of Enthusiasm, the site for his newsletter, and I had a thought. What if we made the word “enthusiasm” in the title animate a little bit? Like, what if each of the letters in the word bopped up and down enthusiastically?
