Web Components Are Easier Than You Think
8.3.2021
When I’d go to a conference (when we were able to do such things) and see someone do a presentation on web components, I always thought it was pretty nifty (yes, apparently, I’m from 1950), but it always seemed complicated …

To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
22.2.2021
One of the things I do when teaching beginning front-end development is ask students to describe what it’s like to read HTML. I give them pretty basic markup for a long-form article, and ask them to read it twice: first …

Red Dead Online's New Solo Missions Are Pretty Good
18.2.2021
The latest Red Dead Online update, released earlier this week, added a few new missions to the game. These new telegram missions are short and simple but are also built to be played alone, another sign that Rockstar is willing to give players more single-player content even in ostensibly online...

17.2.2021
Some nice coverage from Andy about CSS things that are truly new. If you haven’t looked at new things in CSS in, say, a year, I’d bet pretty much all of this will be new to you. A lot of …

A table with both a sticky header and a sticky first column
10.2.2021
We’ve covered that individual <table> cells, <th> and <td> can be position: sticky. It’s pretty easy to make the header of a table stick to the top of the screen while scrolling through a bunch or rows (like this …

A Whole Website in a Single HTML File
28.1.2021
I can’t stop thinking about this site. It looks like a pretty standard fare; a website with links to different pages. Nothing to write home about except that… the whole website is contained within a single HTML file.…

On Type Patterns and Style Guides
19.1.2021
Over the last six years or so, I’ve been using these things I’ve been calling “type patterns” in my web design work, and they’ve worked out pretty well for me. I’ll dig into what they are and how they can …

AnimXYZ
18.1.2021
There are quite a few CSS animation libraries. They tend to be a pile of class names that you can apply as needed like “bounce” or “slide-right” and it’ll… do those things. They tend to be pretty opinionated with …

For A Bootleg Pokémon Game, This Looked Pretty Good

The PS5's DualSense Is The Perfect Canvas
7.1.2021
One of my first thoughts upon seeing the futuristic armored look of the PlayStation 5’s Dualsense controller was, “Man, I bet that’s going to look awesome with a custom paint job.” Indulging my pink and black obsession, the painting pros at Colorware have confirmed my hypothesis.Read more

What's the Best Scratching Post for My Beautiful Cat?
4.1.2021
Because life wasn’t changing enough in 2020, I decided to get my first ever pet at the tail end of last year. My new partner in crime is a black and white little rescue named Mirah, who is an angel on Earth. Mirah is a pretty chill 1-year-old who’s unphased by just about everything. During...
Automatic Social Share Images

It’s a pretty low-effort thing to get a big fancy link preview on social media. Toss a handful of specific <meta> tags on a URL and you get a big image-title-description thing. Here’s Twitter’s version of an article on this …

A Calendar in Three Lines of CSS
24.12.2020
This article has no byline and is on a website that is even more weirdly specific than this one is, but I appreciate the trick here. A seven-column grid makes for a calendar layout pretty quick. You can let the days (grid items) fall onto it naturally, except kick the first day over to the correct...

Looks like all the content of MDN is on GitHub now. That’s pretty rad. That’s been the public plan for a while. Chris Mills:
We will be using GitHub’s contribution tools and features, essentially moving MDN from a Wiki model to a pull request (PR) model. This is so much better...
