SVG within CSS

8.2.2021

A font-display setting for slow connections

31.12.2020
Me, I really dislike FOUT. I like that it’s an option, because not displaying text quickly on the web is no good. I know font-display: swap; is popular because it’s good for performance, but that FOUT stuff pains me. Matt … The post A font-display setting for slow connections...

Custom Styles in GitHub Readme Files

23.12.2020
Even though GitHub Readme files (typically ./readme.md) are Markdown, and although Markdown supports HTML, you can’t put <style> or <script> tags init. (Well, you can, they just get stripped.) So you can’t apply custom styles there. Or can you? You can use SVG as...

Learning to Simplify

16.12.2020

It’s sounding more and more likely that we’re actually going to get real container queries. Google is prototyping a syntax idea from David Baron and refined by Miriam Suzanne. Apparently, there has already been some prototyping done for a switch() syntax which is like container queries...

Amplify, Amplified

2.12.2020
First, quickly: AWS Amplify has a new Admin UI. Amplify always had a CLI that helps you build projects by setting up stuff like auth, storage, and APIs. That’s super useful, but now, you can do those things with the new Admin UI. And more, like model your data (!!), right from a local...

Painting With the Web

1.12.2020
Matthias Ott, comparing how painter Gerhard Richter paints (do stuff, step back, take a look) to what can be the website building process and what can wreck it: […] this reminds me of designing and building for the Web: The unpredictability, the peculiarities of the material,...

Measuring Core Web Vitals with Sentry

17.11.2020
Chris made a few notes about Core Web Vitals the other day, explaining why measuring these performance metrics are so gosh darn important: I still think the Google-devised Core Web Vitals are smart. When I first got into caring about performance, it was all: reduce requests! cache things! Make...

SVGBOX

13.11.2020
