Welcome to My New Office

19.2.2019
My first professional web development was at a small print shop where I sat in a windowless cubical all day. I suffered that boxed in environment for almost five years before I was able to find a remote job where I worked from home. The first thing I told myself when leaving that first...

Using Slack Slash Commands to Send Data from Slack into Google Sheets

18.2.2019
Since I work from home, most of my daily work interactions happen through Slack. It’s my equivalent to the water cooler. A place to hang out and discuss ideas with friends. I’m part of a book recommendations channel. People share books all the time, but they disappear quickly, lost in a sea...

17.2.2019
When we started Discourse in 2013, our server requirements were high: 1GB RAM modern, fast dual core CPU speedy solid state drive I'm not talking about a cheapo shared cpanel server, either, I mean a dedicated virtual private server with those specifications. We were OK with that, because we were

“the closest thing web standards have to a golden rule”

14.2.2019
The internet's own Mat Marquis plucks this choice quote from the HTML Design Principals spec: In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity. And then he applies the idea to putting images on websites in 2019. Direct Link to Article...

A Site for Front-End Development Conferences (Built with 11ty on Netlify)

12.2.2019
I built a new little site! It's a site for listing upcoming conferences in the world of front-end web design and development. In years past (like 2017), Sarah Drasner took up this daunting job. We used a form for new conference submissions, but it was still a rather manual task of basically...

Porovnání gzip, bz2, xz a zstd ve všech stupních komprese

8.2.2019
Zajímalo mě, jak se chová zstd v porovnání s dalšími běžně používanými kompresory. Udělal jsem si skript a ten provedl „pár“ testů, a když jsem si uvědomil, kolik to sežralo elektřiny, tak jsem se rozhodl, že to alespoň publikuji :-) byly použity tyto verze kompresorů: gzip 1.6, bzip2 1.0.6,...

CSS :placeholder-shown

4.2.2019
One of the first plugins that would hit a new framework in the early days of JavaScript frameworks was a placeholder plugin, which is why we were so excited when HTML5 brought us the placeholder attribute. Then CSS lovers like me were thrilled when the CSS spec allowed us to style placeholders....

How do you figure?

1.2.2019
Scott O'Hara digs into the <figure> and <figcaption> elements. Gotta love a good ol' HTML deep dive. I use these on just about every blog post here on CSS-Tricks, and as I've suspected, I've basically been doing it wrong forever. My original thinking was that a figcaption was just...

Set Desktop Wallpaper from Command Line on Mac

31.1.2019
Whenever I need to accomplish a basic task that typically calls for interacting with a UI, I challenge myself to complete the task from command line. After all, most UIs are simply a mask over basic commands, especially when it comes to the operating system. Suddenly I feel like an automation...

Mac Dark Mode from Command Line

30.1.2019
One of the best professional decisions I ever made was switching to a dark text editor theme. I suffered from horrible headaches for years, partially caused by late night coding sessions with blindingly bright computer screens. Recently Apple implemented a dark OS theme which helps my eyes,...

How to Change Animated GIF Speed

29.1.2019
Comedians would tell you that timing is the most important part of any joke. The same could be said about animated GIFs; whether they’re used as a meme or to illustrate a process, the speed of an animated GIF can effect its effectiveness. With that idea in mind, I set about trying to figure...

React 16.6.0 Goodies

23.1.2019
React 16.6.0 was released October 2018 and with it came goodies that spice up the way we can develop with React. We’re going to cover what I consider the best of those new goodies with examples of how we can put them to use in our work. React.memo() avoids unnecessary re-rendering There...

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...
