Prototyping in the Browser

5.7.2018
Prototyping animations and interactions is vital for a number of reasons: they can make your interface feel deceptively fast, they can help focus the user on a specific task, and they can provide a better sense of the current state of your application. Is data being loaded? Is something...

Drawing Images with CSS Gradients

25.6.2018
What I mean by "CSS images" is images that are created using only HTML elements and CSS. They look as if they were SVGs drawn in Adobe Illustrator but they were made right in the browser. Some techniques I’ve seen used are tinkering with border radii, box shadows, and sometimes clip-path. You...

Responsive Knockout Text With Looping Video

3.5.2018
Here’s an idea! Let’s make an an HTML <video> play inside the shape of some letters. Like "Knockout Text" except instead of an image behind, it’s video. A live demo will explain more clearly: See the Pen basic pen by Giulio Mainardi (@mgiulio) on CodePen. A key objective here is to develop...

Animating Progress

Jonathan Snook on the complexity of animating the <progress> element. If you’re unfamiliar, that’s the element that spits out a bar chart-like visual that indicates a position between two values: This example has custom styles, but you get the point. Jonathan's post shows off a method...
