This Page is Designed to Last

Jeff Huang, while going through his collection of bookmarks, sadly finds a lot of old pages gone from the internet. Bit rot. It's pretty bad. Most of what gets published on the web disappears. Thankfully, the Internet Archive gets a lot of it. Jeff has seven things that he thinks will help make...

Amelia Wattenberger’s The CSS Cascade

23.1.2020
If you're on a small screen, remind yourself to check it out on a big screen when you have the chance. Did you know that styles from an active transition beat !important rules, but styles from an active animation do not? I definitely did not. Or that there are "origins" that are almost like...

The Gambling Scene and Crypto Currency: Is there a solid link?

23.1.2020
Disclaimer: The text below is a sponsored article that was not written by Cryptonews.com journalists. _________ To state that gambling is fluid is an understatement. We started from the back room of a bar, moved to land-based casino, to an online market open for all. With the change in scenery,...

Bad accessibility equals bad quality

22.1.2020
Here’s a smart post from Manuel Matuzovic where he digs into why accessibility is so important for building websites: Web accessibility is not just about keyboard users, color contrast or screen readers. Accessibility is a perfect indicator for the quality of a website. Accessibility is strongly...

Hamburger ☰ Heaven

22.1.2020
A pleasant little romp through iconography and culture from Sophia Lucero. The "hamburger" menu icon we're familiar with now is really a sign from Taoist cosmology. Besides ☰, which represents heaven 天, we have ☱ for lake/marsh 澤, ☲ for fire 火, ☳ for thunder 雷, ☴ for wind 風, ☵ for water 水,...

Searching the Jamstack

22.1.2020
Here's Raymon Camden on adding site search functionality to a site that is statically hosted. A classic trick! Just shoot 'em to Google and scope the results to your site: <form action="https://www.google.com/search" method="get"<input type="search" name="q"...

What makes a site JAMstack?

21.1.2020
I admit I didn’t know the ins and outs of what the Jamstack is until recently, despite having heard the term so frequently. I think I’m not alone in this. It’s an elusive term — how is it different from what came before, especially considering it shares so many similarities? Thankfully, Divya...

positionstack

21.1.2020
(This is a sponsored post.) Say you have an address that your user typed in, like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC, USA and now you need more information about it. Maybe you need the proper country code. Maybe you need the latitude and longitude. Maybe you need the postal code....

Getting Started with Front End Testing

20.1.2020
Amy Kapernick covers four types of testing that front-end devs could and should be doing: Linting (There's ESLint for JavaScript and Stylelint or Prettier for CSS.) Accessibility Testing (Amy recommends pa11y, and we've covered Axe.) Visual Regression Testing (Amy recommends Backstop, and we've...

Timeless Web Dev Articles

18.1.2020
Pavithra Kodmad asked people for recommendations on what they thought were some of the most timeless articles about web development that have changed their perspective in some way. Fun! I'm gonna scour the thread and link up my favorites (that are actually articles, although not all of them...

Autumn (macOS window manager)

17.1.2020
I love how nerdy this is. Autumn allows you to write JavaScript to control your windows. Get this window, move it over here. Nudge this window over. There are all sorts of APIs, like keyboard command helpers and doing things on events, like waking up from sleep. I love that it exists, but for...

The Design Squiggle

16.1.2020
I think we all have an intuitive understanding that, at the beginning of projects that require our creativity (be it design or code), things feel uncertain and messy. Then, as we go, things tend to straighten out. There is still some wiggling and setbacks, but by the end, we find a single solution...

Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React

15.1.2020
I find it notable when the blog of a major accessibility-focused company like Deque publishes an article called Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React. Mark Steadman is essentially saying if a site has bad accessibility, it ain't React... it's you. The tools are there to achieve good...

In Defence of “Serverless” —the term

14.1.2020
Ben Ellerby: For now Serverless, to me at least, manages to do a hard job, defining the borders of a very fluid and complex space of possible solutions in which we can build next-generation architectures. It would help if there was not a framework of the same name, it would help if people didn’t...

A Scandal in Bohemia

13.1.2020
I love that Paravel is so busy doing so much cool stuff they literally just forgot that they built this and are just now releasing it. It's a Sherlock Holmes story, but designed to be more interesting and immersive (even audio!) than just words-on-a-screen. Direct Link to Article —...

Why do we have different programming languages?

13.1.2020
"But why do I have to learn Python?" She wailed, "I like Scratch!" "I know," I said, "But there are different programming languages for different sorts of tasks." "That's stupid" she said I can empathize with the little girl in Terence Eden's story. In high school, I got super into Turbo Pascal....

A sharp rally in top crypto performers of the past seven days suggests that altseason has arrived and the sentiment has turned from sell on rallies to buy on dips

Re-creating the ‘His Dark Materials’ Logo in CSS

11.1.2020
The text logo has a slash cut through the text. You set two copies on top of one another, cropping both of them with the clip-path property. What's interesting to me is how many cool design effects require multiple copies of an element to do something cool. To get the extra copy, at least with...
