9.12.2019
For those who may not come from a design background, selecting a color palette is often based on personal preferences. Choosing colors might be done with an online color tool, sampling from an image, "borrowing" from favorite brands, or just sort of randomly picking from a color wheel until...

The future is bright, because the future is static

20.11.2019
I've been doing this web thing for money for 10 years this year and although I haven’t been around as long as some folks, I feel like I've seen a few cycles come and go now, so let's say that hot new things are often cynically viewed, initially. This milestone of mine has also got me in...

The Kind of Development I Like

18.11.2019
I'm turning 40 next year (yikes!) and even though I've been making websites for over 25 years, I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand the kind of development I like. Expectedly, these are not new revelations and my views can be summed up by two older Computer Science adages that pre-date...

Let’s Make a Fancy, but Uncomplicated Page Loader

15.10.2019
It’s pretty common to see a loading state on sites these days, particularly as progressive web apps and reactive sites are on the rise. It’s one way to improve "perceived" performance — that is, making it feel as though the site is loading faster than it actually is. There’s no shortage of ways...

Paperform

26.9.2019
Buy or build is a classic debate in technology. Building things yourself might feel less expensive because there is no line item on your credit card bill, but has cost in the form of time. Buying things, believe it or not, is usually less expensive when it comes to technology that isn't your core...

A Dark Mode Toggle with React and ThemeProvider

25.9.2019
I like when websites have a dark mode option. Dark mode makes web pages easier for me to read and helps my eyes feel more relaxed. Many websites, including YouTube and Twitter, have implemented it already, and we’re starting to see it trickle onto many other sites as well. In this tutorial, we’re...

Simplicity

12.9.2019
Earlier this week, Bastian Allgeier published some interesting thoughts about complexity in web development and how changing simple things can often feel far more difficult than they need to be: You want to build a JS file? Please update Webpack first. Oh, that new version of Webpack is no longer...

“Off The Main Thread”

10.9.2019
JavaScript is what they call "single-threaded." As Brian Barbour puts it: This means it has one call stack and one memory heap. We all feel a symptom of that regularly in the form of performance jank and non-interactivity on elements or entire sites. If we give JavaScript lots of jobs and it gets...

Styling Links with Real Underlines

30.8.2019
Before we come to how to style underlines, we should answer the question: should we underline? In graphic design, underlines are generally seen as unsophisticated. There are nicer ways to draw emphasis, to establish hierarchy, and to demarcate titles. That’s clear in this advice from Butterick’s...

Run useEffect Only Once

React has a built-in hook called useEffect. Hooks are used in function components. The Class component comparison to useEffect are the methods componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, and componentWillUnmount. useEffect will run when the component renders, which might be more times than you think....

Getting design system customization just right

29.7.2019
I had a little rant in me a few months ago about design systems: "Who Are Design Systems For?" My main point was that there are so many public and open source ones out there that choosing one can feel like choosing new furniture for your house. You just measure up what you need and what you like...

Different Approaches for Creating a Staggered Animation

27.6.2019
Animating elements, at its most basic, is fairly straightforward. Define the keyframes. Name the animation. Call it on an element. But sometimes we need something a little more complex to get the right “feel" for the way things move. For example, a sound equalizer might use the same animation...
