One very new trick is the ability...
Dark mode and variable fonts

Not so long ago, we wrote about dark mode in CSS and I’ve been thinking about how white text on a black background is pretty much always harder to read than black text on a white background. After thinking about this for a while, I realized that we can fix that problem by making the text thinner...

Fake Code
21.4.2020
Here’s a fun little idea from Knut Synstad. You give it the URL of a GitHub Gist and it converts the Gist into grayscale rounded blobs (SVG) that sorta look like code if you squint. Maybe fun for interesting dynamic backgrounds or for whatever you might use code-looking stock art for.

Creating Playful Effects With CSS Text Shadows
20.4.2020
Let’s have a look at how we can use the CSS text-shadow property to create truly 3D-looking text.

Front-End Challenges
17.4.2020
My favorite way to level up as a front-end developer is to do the work. Literally just build websites. If you can do it for money, great, you should. If the websites you make can help yourself or anyone else you care about, then that’s also great. In lieu of that, you can also make things...

Thank You, Christopher Schmitt
16.4.2020
It’s incredibly sad that Christopher Schmitt passed away last week¹. I keep thinking about how Christopher was one of the best dudes I knew. Just incredibly kind and thoughtful all the way through. I know everyone says that about people after they pass, but I really mean it here. I’m...
Jetpack Instant Search!
16.4.2020

You want to set some text inside the shape of a circle with HTML and CSS? That’s crazy talk, right?
