Devising the Cloak of Invisibility in JavaScript

25.5.2020
Steganography. The art of hiding something right under your nose. For as long as humans have been alive, we’ve been trying to hide things — whether it’s our last slice of pizza or the location of a buried treasure. Do you remember the cool invisible lemon ink trick, where we’d write the secret...

Radio Buttons Are Like Selects; Checkboxes Are Like Multiple Selects

20.5.2020
I was reading Anna Kaley’s “Listboxes vs. Dropdown Lists” post the other day. It’s a fairly straightforward comparison between different UI implementations of selecting options. There is lots of good advice there. Classics like that you should use radio buttons (single...

How to Build a Chrome Extension

19.5.2020
I made a Chrome extension this weekend because I found I was doing the same task over and over and wanted to automate it. Plus, I’m a nerd during a pandemic, so I spend my weird pent-up energy building things. I’ve made five Chrome extensions with that energy, yet I still find it hard...

Unprefixed `appearance `

18.5.2020
It’s interesting how third-parties are sometimes super involved in pushing browser things forward. One big story there was how Bloomberg hired Igalia to implement CSS grid across the browsers. Here’s another story of Bocoup doing that, this time for the appearance property. The story...

13.5.2020
I convinced myself six months ago that I needed to give the Apple Watch a try. While I wear it every day and enjoy a few features, I’ve felt a bit let down by the experience. I do, however, believe that the Apple Watch makes notifications and other “little things” easier. One...

Accepting Payments (including Recurring Payments) on WordPress.com

12.5.2020
I’m a fan of building websites with the least amount of technical debt and things you have to be responsible for as possible for what you wanna do. Sometimes you take on this debt on purpose because you have to, but when you don’t, please don’t ;). Let’s say you need...

Chromium lands Flexbox gap

9.5.2020
I mentioned this the other day via Michelle Barker’s coverage, but here I’ll link to the official announcement. The main thing is that we’ll be getting gap with flexbox, which means: .flex-parent { display: flex; gap: 1rem; } .flex-child { flex: 1; } That’s excellent...

8.5.2020
Michelle Barker notes that it’s been a heck of a week for us CSS layout nerds. Firefox has long had the best DevTools for CSS Grid, but Chrome is about to catch up and go one bit better by visualizing grid line numbers and names. Firefox supports gap for display: flex, which is great,...

Lists are a fundamental part of HTML! They are useful in things like blog posts for listing out steps, recipes for listing ingredients, or items in a navigation menu.
