The Eleventh Fourth

4.7.2018
Holy heck it feels like the last year has flown by! Longtime readers will remember that the fourth of July is CSS-Tricks birthday and we blog it each year. We turned 10 last year, and now we welcome our first palindromic number birthday. Huge thank you First, as ever, thank you for being part...

Writing Good Support Requests

2.7.2018
My take on trying to be helpful to a support staff. One bit is just as relevant for learning development: Writing out a ticket will help you figure out the problem. Sometimes when you have to take a second to collect your thoughts and explain something, the problem will become clear and maybe even...

React Node Flow

27.6.2018
Flow, the static type checker used in many React projects, feels like a gift and a curse at times; a gift in that it identifies weaknesses in your code, and a curse that sometimes you feel like you’re needlessly adjusting your code to satisfy Flow. I’ve grown to appreciate Flow...

Count Frames in an Animated GIF

26.6.2018
The animated GIF always makes me chuckle; on one hand they seem like a relic of the “old web”, on the other hand they aren’t going anywhere and their meme-like presence seem to only make them more popular. If you browse through my media blog posts archives, you’ll notice...

Easy Document Signing with the Eversign Chrome Extension

25.6.2018
A while back I wrote about Eversign, an awesome service that allows you and your clients or partners to digitally sign documents online. If you’ve recently bought a house or did any other large purchases or agreements, you know how important the ability to reliably sign documents online is. ...

Balancing Time

22.6.2018
I first wrote this post four years ago. I put it on a blog that no longer exists. Funnily enough, I still refer to it myself, so I figured it might be best served in a place where other people can see it. I've made only a few minor tweaks to the original content. A lot about how I work has changed...

Convert HTML to Markdown

21.6.2018
One of my biggest mistakes with this blog was not finding a WordPress plugin that would allow me to write my posts with markdown; to this day I still need to write posts in “Visual” mode and then manually convert the post to HTML for “Text” mode. One of these days I want...

UTC is Enough for Everyone, Right?

20.6.2018
A good candidate for the Blog Post of the Year from Zach Holman. I think Eric Portis' "w descriptors and sizes: Under the hood" is up there too, but perhaps even nerdier. Ooooh, also Frank Chimero's "The Good Room" is up there. But I digress. Zach's article is as educational as it is funny. But...

Show FPS for Steam Games

18.6.2018
There’s nothing more frustrating to a top gamer (outside of bugs in a game) than dropped frames in a video game. If you’re playing a competitive multiplayer game like PUBG or Fortnite, where up to 100 people are simultaneously competing, dropped frames can be the difference between...

A Quick Roundup of Recent React Chatter

12.6.2018
Like many, many others, I'm in the pool of leveling up my JavaScript skills and learning how to put React to use. That's why Brad Frost resonated with me when he posted My Struggle to Learn React." As Brad does, he clearly outlines his struggles point-by-point: I have invested enough time...

Build live comments with sentiment analysis using Nest.js

12.6.2018
(This is a sponsored post.) Interestingly, one of the most important areas of a blog post is the comment section. This plays an important role in the success of a post or an article, as it allows proper interaction and participation from readers. This makes it inevitable for every platform with...

Uppy File Uploading

11.6.2018
One of the big tasks I was charged with at my first job was setting up a system by which any customer or potential customer (aka anonymous user) could upload PDF and image files. I had loads of constraints to deal with: browser support, server settings, variance in user tech knowledge, etc....

console.logTime

7.6.2018
I work on a really complex debugger at Mozilla but, and don’t tell my colleagues, I sometimes enjoy simply using console.log and other console commands to get some simple output. I know, I know, but hey — whatever gets the job done. A few years ago I detailed console.time...

What’s Next for Hybrid App Developers? (Sponsored)

5.6.2018
The story of hybrid application development is a never-ending one. Each framework has to continuously strive and innovate to remain relevant, and the discussion of which framework to use is a question often asked. Most hybrid applications are built using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript....

Forms, Auth and Serverless Functions on Gatsby and Netlify

31.5.2018
Abstracting infrastructure is in our DNA. Roads, schools, water supply networks—you get the idea. Web development is no exception: serverless architectures are a beautiful expression of that phenomenon. Static sites, in particular, are turning into dynamic, rich experiences. Handling static...
