Is Having an RSS Feed Just Giving Content Away for Free?

7.2.2020
I mean, kinda. I was just asked this question the other day so I'm answering here because blogging is cool. The point of an RSS feed is for people to read your content elsewhere (hence the last part of the acronym, Syndication, as in, broadcasting elsewhere). Probably an RSS reader. But RSS...

Guillermo’s 2019 in Review

7.2.2020
Of all the tech-focused year-in-review posts I read, Guillermo Rauch's is my favorite. There is a lot in there, jumping from topics like modern architectures, high-fiving specific apps, and philosophical movements. I'll pick one quote about the rise of "deploy previews": A salient feature is...

Custom Styling Form Inputs With Modern CSS Features

7.2.2020
It’s entirely possible to build custom checkboxes, radio buttons, and toggle switches these days, while staying semantic and accessible. We don’t even need a single line of JavaScript or extra HTML elements! It’s actually gotten easier lately than it has been in the past. Let’s take a look. Here’s...

Old CSS, new CSS

7.2.2020
I love this post that walks through the development of CSS and HTML — it shows just how far web design has come and how much easier it is for us all now. Eevee looks at designing websites with tables, the Space Jam website, and how for centuries there was no way to easily inspect changes made to...

Full-Width Elements By Using Edge-to-Edge Grid

7.2.2020
If you have a limited-width container, say a centered column of text, "breaking out" of that to make a full-width element involves trickery. Perhaps the best trick is the one with left relative positioning and a negative left viewport-based margin. While it has it's caveats (e.g. requiring hidden...

Getting Fancy with position: sticky;

7.2.2020
Mike Solomon worked on a fancy scrollytelling post for Esquire and blogged about it. It has GIFs of each step along the way of figuring out not just position: sticky; but also using negative margins, wrapper divs, backgrounds, and even a smidge of JavaScript measuring to get it all right. What...

Getting Acquainted With Svelte, the New Framework on the Block

6.2.2020
For the last six years, Vue, Angular, and React have run the world of front-end component frameworks. Google and Facebook have their own sponsored frameworks, but they might leave a bitter taste for anyone who advocates for an open and unbiased web. Vue is another popular framework that...

Building an accessible autocomplete control

Here’s a great in-depth post from Adam Silver about his journey to create an autocomplete field that’s as accessible as possible. There are so many edge cases to consider!

Browser Version Release Spectrum

6.2.2020
Whenever a browser upgrades versions, it's a little marketing event, and rightly so. Looks like for Firefox it's about once a month, Chrome is ~6 weeks, and Safari is once a year. Chrome 80 just dropped, as they say, and we get a video and blog post. What strikes me about releases like this these...

HTTPS is Easy!

5.2.2020
I've been guilty of publicly bemoaning the complexity of HTTPS. In the past, I've purchased SSL certificates from third-party vendors and had trouble installing them. I've had certificates expire and had to scramble to fix them. I've had to poke and prod hosting companies to help me ensure things...

Native Image Lazy Loading in Chrome Is Way Too Eager

5.2.2020
Interesting research from Aaron Peters on <img loading="lazy" ... >: On my 13 inch macbook, with Dock positioned on the left, the viewport height in Chrome is 786 pixels so images with loading="lazy" that are more than 4x the viewport down the page are eagerly fetched by Chrome...

CSS4 is a Bad Idea

5.2.2020
Louis Lazaris, reacting to the idea of CSS4: The reason “CSS3” worked is because it was real. It was the successor to “CSS2.1”. Everything after CSS2.1 was considered to be under the umbrella of “CSS3”. The gist is that CSS4 isn't real, so won't work, and we don't need it anyway. Perhaps...

Creating an Editable Webpage With Google Spreadsheets and Tabletop.js

5.2.2020
Please raise your hand if you’ve ever faced never-ending content revision requests from your clients. It’s not that the changes themselves are difficult, but wouldn't it be less complicated if clients could just make the revisions themselves? That would save everyone valuable time, and  allow...
