Reversing an Easing Curve
17.12.2018
Let’s take a look at a carousel I worked on where items slide in and out of view with CSS animations. To get each item to slide in and out of view nicely I used a cubic-bezier for the animation-timing-function property, instead of using a standard easing keyword.
See the Pen Carousel with reversed...
Convert Class Components to Functional Components in a React Project (Solution to Code Challenge #14)

Last week on the code challenge we set out to refactor some class components in a create-react-app proj
Keep Math in the CSS
12.12.2018
There is a sentiment that leaving math calculations in your CSS is a good idea that I agree with. This is for math that you could calculate at authoring time, but specifically chose not to. For instance, if you needed a 7-column float-based grid (don't ask), it's cleaner and more intuitive:
.col...

Prototypes and production
11.12.2018
There’s an interesting distinction that Jeremy Keith defines between prototype code and production code in this post and I’ve been thinking about it all week:
...every so often, we use the materials of front-end development—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—to produce something that isn’t intended...
Creating an Animated Login Form for TouchID
11.12.2018
I came across this amazing Dribbble shot by Jakub Reis a while back. It caught my eye and I knew that I just had to try recreating it in code. At that moment, I didn’t know how. I tried out a bunch of different things, and about a year later, I finally managed to make this demo.
I learned a couple...
Why isn’t it <style src=””>?
10.12.2018
The way JavaScript works is we can do scripts as an inline block:
<script>
let foo = "bar";
</script>
Or, if the script should be fetched from the network...
<script src="/js/global.js"></script>
With CSS, we can do an inline block of styles:
<style>
.foo...
Google Labs Web Components
10.12.2018
I think it's kinda cool to see Google dropping repos of interesting web components. It demonstrates the possibilities of cool new web features and allows them to ship them in a way that's compatible with entirely web standards.
Here's one: <two-up>
I wanted to give it a try, so I linked...

Accessible SVG Icons With Inline Sprites
7.12.2018
This is a great look at accessible SVG markup patterns by Marco Hengstenberg. Here's the ideal example:
<button type="button">
Menu
<svg class="svg-icon"
role="img"
height="10"
width="10"
viewBox="0 0 10 10"
aria-hidden="true"
focusable="false">

DRY State Switching With CSS Variables: Fallbacks and Invalid Values
6.12.2018
This is the second post in a two-part series that looks into the way CSS variables can be used to make the code for complex layouts and interactions less difficult to write and a lot easier to maintain. The first installment walks through various use cases where this technique applies. This post...
CSS Selectors are Conditional Statements
6.12.2018
foo {
}
Programmatically, is:
if (element has a class name of "foo") {
}
Descendent selectors are && logic and commas are ||. It just gets more complicated from there, with things like combinators and pseudo selectors. Just look at all the ways styles can cascade.
Jeremy Keith:

Bridging the Gap Between CSS and JavaScript: CSS Modules, PostCSS and the Future of CSS
4.12.2018
In the previous post in this two-part series, we explored the CSS-in-JS landscape and, we realized not only that CSS-in-JS can produce critical styles, but also that some libraries don’t even have a runtime. We saw that user experience can significantly improve by adding clever optimizations, which...
Too Much Accessibility
3.12.2018
I like to blog little veins of thought as I see them. We recently linked to an article by Facundo Corradini calling out a tweet of ours where we used an <em> where we probably should have used an <i>.
Bruce Lawson checks if screen readers are the victims of these semantic...

Get Viewport Lines and Columns in CodeMirror
27.11.2018
CodeMirror is an amazing utility for presenting code in a browser environment. Syntax highlighting, widgets, and a number of advanced functions make it a unique, useful tool. When using CodeMirror inside the Firefox DevTools debugger, I found that adding hundreds of column breakpoint widgets...
Three Questions to Ask of Every Bug You Encounter
