Preloading Pages Just Before They are Needed
27.9.2019
The typical journey for a person browsing a website: view a page, click a link, browser loads new page. That's assuming no funny business like a Single Page App, which still follows that journey, but the browser doesn't load a new page — the client fakes it for the sake of a snappier...

18.9.2019

A Color Picker for Product Images
17.9.2019
Sounds kind of like a hard problem doesn't it? We often don't have product shots in thousands of colors, such that we can flip out the <img src="product-red.jpg" alt="red product"> with <img src="product-blue.jpg" alt="blue product">. Nor do we typically have products in a vector...

<p>Pretty weird, huh?

Some HTML is “Optional”
11.9.2019
There is a variety of HTML that you can just leave out of the source HTML and it's still valid markup.
Doesn't this look weird?
<p>Paragraph one.
<p>Paragraph two.
<p>Paragraph three.
It does to me, but the closing </p> tags are optional. The browser will detect...

Can you rotate the cursor in CSS?
28.8.2019
Kinda! There is no simple or standard way to do it, but it's possible. You can change the cursor to different built-in native versions with CSS with the cursor property, but that doesn't help much here. You can also use that property to set a static image as the cursor. But again that doesn't help...
Let’s Build a JAMstack E-Commerce Store with Netlify Functions
20.8.2019
A lot of people are confused about what JAMstack is. The acronym stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, but truly, JAMstack doesn’t have to include all three. What defines JAMstack is that it’s served without web servers. If you consider the history of computing, this type of abstraction isn’t...

The Differing Perspectives on CSS-in-JS
14.8.2019
Some people outright hate the idea of CSS-in-JS. Just that name is offensive. Hard no. Styling doesn't belong in CSS, it belongs in CSS, a thing that already exists and that browsers are optimized to use. Separation of concerns. Anything else is a laughable misstep, a sign of not learning from...
Quick Gulp Cache Busting
7.8.2019
You should for sure be setting far-out cache headers on your assets like CSS and JavaScript (and images and fonts and whatever else). That tells the browser "hang on to this file basically forever." That way, when navigating from page to page on a site — or revisiting it, or refreshing...
Can you nest @media and @support queries?
5.8.2019
Yes, you can, and it doesn't really matter in what order. A CSS preprocessor is not required. It works in regular CSS.
This works:
@supports(--a: b) {
@media (min-width: 1px) {
body {
background: red;
}
}
}
And so does this, the reverse nesting of the above:
@media (min-width:...
Youtube Censorship Drives Uptake of Crypto-Powered Video Platforms
5.8.2019
If the prospect of greater privacy and financial sovereignty doesn’t lure the masses to crypto networks, perhaps the ability to speak freely will. Lately, a lot of people who couldn’t give a damn about peer-to-peer cryptocurrency have taken a shine to peer-to-peer networks that run...
