Enhancing The Clickable Area Size
1.10.2019
Here’s a great post by Ahmad Shadeed on making sure that clickable areas in our interfaces are, well, clickable. He writes about making sure that links, buttons and other elements meet accessibility standards for both touch and mouse, too.
I particularly like the section where Ahmad writes about...
Decentralized Oracles Lend More Versatility to the Aelf Blockchain Project
30.9.2019
Achieving interoperability between different crypto ecosystems and blockchains is not at all a simple task. And it is something which big projects have been eying on since quite some time. However, the Aelf blockchain project seems to have somewhat moved forward in the space as its recent update...

Preloading Pages Just Before They are Needed
27.9.2019
The typical journey for a person browsing a website: view a page, click a link, browser loads new page. That's assuming no funny business like a Single Page App, which still follows that journey, but the browser doesn't load a new page — the client fakes it for the sake of a snappier...
Thinking in React Hooks
25.9.2019
Amelia Wattenberger has written this wonderful and interactive piece about React Hooks and details how they can clean up code and remove all those troubling lifecycle events:
React introduced hooks one year ago, and they've been a game-changer for a lot of developers. There are tons of how-to...
Link Underlines That Animate Into Block Backgrounds
23.9.2019
It's a cool little effect. The default link style has an underline (which is a good idea) and then on :hover you see the underline essentially thicken up turning into almost what it would have looked liked if you used a background-color on the link instead.
Here's an example of the effect on...
Variable Fonts Link Dump!
21.9.2019
There's been a ton of great stuff flying around about variable fonts lately (our tag has loads of stuff as well). I thought I'd round up all the new stuff I hadn't seen before.
Google fonts has a beta of hosted variable fonts and the announcement demo is on CodePen.
Speaking of Google Fonts...
Table with Expando Rows
20.9.2019
"Expando Rows" is a concept where multiple related rows in a <table> are collapsed until you open them. You'd call that "progressive disclosure" in interaction design parlance.
After all these years on CSS-Tricks, I have a little better eye for what the accessibility concerns of...
Chainlink Attempts to Rise Amongst the Moderate Volatility

The investors of Chainlink (LINK) are quite impressed with the recent surge that happened. The coin is rightly positioned amongst the top 30 coins of the crypto market. Yesterday, LINK was initially trading at the highest touch point of $1.989 at 01:26 UTC. The value from then saw a drastic drop...
Chainlink (LINK) Prices Up by 1.46% as per Intraday Figures; Will It Maintain the Rising Consistency?

Sarah introduced us to GitHub Actions right after it dropped about a year ago. Now they have improved the feature and are touting its CI/CD abilities. Run tests, do deployment, do whatever stuff computers do! It's essentially a YAML file that says run this, then this, then this, etc., with...

How Web Content Can Affect Power Usage
18.9.2019
Because we know that all people with battery-powered devices are constantly concerned about their battery levels, and that websites are significant consumers of that battery power, we should probably think about this stuff a lot more than we do.
I'd expect the browser itself to be our main ally...

Two Browsers Walked Into a Scrollbar
18.9.2019
Surprise: scrollbars are complicated, especially cross-browser and cross-platform.
Sometimes they take up space and sometimes they don't. Sometimes that is affected by a setting and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes you can see them and sometimes you can't unless you're actually scrolling. Styling...
Overflow And Data Loss In CSS
17.9.2019
"Data Loss" is a funny term. My brain thinks of like packet loss on the way from the server to your browser, resulting in missing content in files. Perhaps it is that on some level, but in CSS parlance, it has to do with the overflow property. Too much content for sized container + hidden overflow...

As long as I can remember the main source for feature support in HTML email clients is Campaign Monitor's guide. Now there is a new player on the block: caniemail.com.
HTML email is often joked about in how you have to code for it in such an antiquated way (<table>s! really!) but that's...
