Telling the Story of Graphic Design
26.7.2019
Let me just frame this for you: we're going to take a piece of production UI from a Sketch file, break it down into pieces of information and then build it up into a story we tell our friends.

Datalist is for suggesting values without enforcing values
26.7.2019
Have you ever had a form that needed to accept a short, arbitrary bit of text? Like a name or whatever. That's exactly what <input type="text"> is for. There are lots of different input types (and modes!), and picking the right one is a great idea.

Zoom, CORS, and the Web
23.7.2019
It's sorta sad by funny that that big Zoom vulnerability thing was ultimately related to web technology and not really the app itself.

Say you want to select an element when it doesn't have a certain class. That's what the :not() selector is for.
body:not(.home) {
}
But what if there are multiple classes you want to avoid?
There are no logical combinators with :not(), like and or or, but you can chain them, which...

Build a Chat App Using React Hooks in 100 Lines of Code
15.7.2019
We’ve looked at React Hooks before, around here at CSS-Tricks. I have an article that introduces them as well that illustrates how to use them to create components through functions. Both articles are good high-level overviews about the way they work, but they open up a lot of possibilities...
Protecting Vue Routes with Navigation Guards

Authentication is a necessary part of every web application. It is a handy means by which we can personalize experiences and load content specific to a user — like a logged in state. It can also be used to evaluate permissions, and prevent otherwise private information from being accessed...

Menus with “Dynamic Hit Areas”
3.7.2019
Flyout menus! The second you need to implement a menu that uses a hover event to display more menu items, you're in tricky territory. For one, they should work with clicks and taps, too. Without that, you've broken the menu for anyone without a mouse. That doesn't mean you can't also use :hover....
Haunted: Hooks for Web Components
3.7.2019
I was just chatting with Dave and he told me about Haunted. It's hooks, but for native web components! Pretty cool. I think the existence of stuff like this makes using web components more and more palatable — particularly in that totally-native no-build-step-needed-at-all kinda way.

The (Developer’s) Growth Model
29.6.2019
I really like the post "The Designer’s Growth Model" by Dennis Hambeukers. Dennis just invented this model, but it's based on some existing ideas and it all rings true for me. Let me try to summarize the five stages as he lays them out for designers.
