The Serif Tax

9.4.2019
Fonts are vector. Vector art with more points makes for larger files than vector art with fewer points. Custom fonts are downloaded. So, fonts with less points in their vector art are smaller. That's the theory anyway. Shall we see if there is any merit to it? Open Sans (top) and Garamond...

Undefined: The Third Boolean Value

5.4.2019
I wanted to implement a notification message in one of my projects, similar to what you’d see in Google Docs while a document is saving. In other words, a message shows up indicating that the document is saving every time a change is made. Then, once the changes are saved, the message becomes: “All...

A Gutenburg-Powered Newsletter

28.3.2019
I like Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor. I'm not oblivious to all the conversation around accessibility, UX, and readiness, but I know how hard it is to ship software and I'm glad WordPress got it out the door. Now it can evolve for the better. I see a lot of benefit to block-based editors. Some...

Blurred Borders in CSS

20.3.2019
Say we want to target an element and just visually blur the border of it. There is no simple, single built-in web platform feature we can reach for. But we can get it done with a little CSS trickery. Here's what we're after: The desired result. Let's see how we can code this effect, how we...

Creating a Custom Element from Scratch

Crafting Reusable HTML Templates

19.3.2019
In our last article, we discussed the Web Components specifications (custom elements, shadow DOM, and HTML templates) at a high-level. In this article, and the three to follow, we will put these technologies to the test and examine them in greater detail and see how we can use them in production...

See No Evil: Hidden Content and Accessibility

15.3.2019
There is no one true way to hide something on the web. Nor should there be, because hiding is too vague. Are you hiding visually or temporarily (like a user menu), but the content should still be accessible? Are you hiding it from assistive tech on purpose? Are you showing it to assistive tech...

On Thursday, we worked with the team at Chiliz and Socios.com, a tokenized voting platform for sports teams, to run a Twitter poll to see whether the CoinMarketCap community would be interested in buying, trading or using a utility token […] The post Would you buy a sports team token? Here...

Application Holotypes

13.3.2019
It's entirely too common to make broad-sweeping statements about all websites. Jason Miller: We often make generalizations about applications we see in the wild, both anecdotal and statistical: "Single-Page Applications are slower than multipage" or "apps with low TTI loaded fast". However,...

Extending Google Analytics on CSS-Tricks with Custom Dimensions

11.3.2019
The idea for this article sparked when Chris wrote this in Thank You (2018 Edition): I almost wish our URLs had years in them because I still don't have a way to scope analytic data to only show me data from content published this year. I can see the most popular stuff from the year, but that's...

Control Icons with Font Size

27.2.2019
Here’s a nifty trick from Andy Bell that now seems a little obvious in hindsight: if you set an SVG to have a width and height of 1em then you can change the size of it with the font-size property. Try and change the font-size on the body element below to see the icon scale with the text: ...

Slide an Image to Reveal Text with CSS Animations

29.1.2019
I want to take a closer look at the CSS animation property and walk through an effect that I used on my own portfolio website: making text appear from behind a moving object. Here’s an isolated example if you’d like to see the final product. Here’s what we're going to work with: See the...

Need to Test API Endpoints? Two Quick Ways to Do It.

25.1.2019
Here's a possibility! Perhaps you are testing your JavaScript with a framework like Jasmine. That's nice because you can write lots of tests to cover your application, get a nice little UI to see the output, and even integrate it with build and deploy tools to make your ongoing development work...

React indeterminate

22.1.2019
I’ve fallen in love with React.js and JSX over the years; state-based rendering and a logical workflow have made me see the light of this modern framework. That doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes get a bit frustrated that the “simple” things seem harder than they should...

New CodePen Feature: Prefill Embeds

21.1.2019
I've very excited to have this feature released for CodePen. It's very progressive enhancement friendly in the sense that you can take any <pre> block of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (or any combination of them) and enhance it into an embed, meaning you can see the rendered output. It also...
