Our Value of Money Is Subjective But That Doesn’t Make It Meaningless

14.5.2019
In my last op-ed, I discussed how the value we place on items and goods is subjective based on Carl Menger’s Subjective Theory of Value and how these concepts apply to people’s perception of value with things like fiat, gold, and bitcoin. The post outlined the idea that money cannot...

Creating Reusable Base Classes in TypeScript with a Real-Life Example

18.4.2019
Hey CSS-Tricksters! Bryan Hughes was kind enough to take a concept from an existing post he published on converting to TypeScript and take it a few couple steps further in this post to elaborate on creating reusable base classes. While this post doesn’t require reading the other one, it’s certainly...

Technical Debt is Like Tetris

21.3.2019
Here’s a wonderful post by Eric Higgins all about refactoring and technical debt. He compares giant refactoring projects to being similar to Tetris: Similar to running a business, Tetris gets harder the longer you play. Pieces move faster and it becomes harder to keep up. Similar to running...

The #StateOfCSS 2019 Survey

15.2.2019
You know about the State of JavaScript survey, where thousands upon thousands of developers were surveyed about all-things-JS, from frameworks to testing and many other things in between? Well, Sacha Greif has launched one focused entirely on CSS. This is super timely given a lot of the content...

More Like position: tricky;

4.2.2019
I rather like position: sticky;. It has practical use cases. I think of things like keeping a table of contents in a sidebar of a long article, but as a fairly simple implementation and without risk of overlapping things in awkward ways. But Elad Shechter is right here: it's not used that much...

Well, Typetura seems fun

1.2.2019
I came across this update from Scott Kellum's and Sal Hernandez's project Typetura via my Medium feed this morning, and what a delight?! (Also, wow, I really have been out of the game for a minute.) Typetura.js is a fluid design solution, for any property, based on any input. It’s not for just...

STAR Apps: A New Generation of Front-End Tooling for Development Workflows

18.1.2019
Product teams from AirBnb and New York Times to Shopify and Artsy (among many others) are converging on a new set of best practices and technologies for building the web apps that their businesses depend on. This trend reflects core principles and solve underlying problems that we may share, so...

JavaScript to Native (and Back!)

14.12.2018
I admit I'm quite intrigued by frameworks that allow you write apps in web frameworks because they do magic to make them into native apps for you. There are loads of players here. You've got NativeScript, Cordova, PhoneGap, Tabris, React Native, and Flutter. For deskop apps, we've got Electron....

The Software We Pay For

5.12.2018
We did a Web Developer Economics series a few years ago, where we looked at the various costs of being a web developer: Web Developer Economics: One-Off Software Costs Web Developer Economics: Hardware Costs Web Developer Economics: Monthly Service Costs Web Developer Economics: The Wrapup I'm...

CSS: A New Kind of JavaScript

19.7.2018
In this wacky and satirical post, Heydon Pickering describes a wild new technology called Cascading Style Sheets that solves a lot of the problems you might bump into when styling things with JavaScript: A good sign that a technology is not fit for purpose is how much we have to rely on workarounds...

Design Systems at GitHub

12.7.2018
Here’s a nifty post by Diana Mounter all about the design systems team at GitHub that details how the team was formed, the problems they've faced and how they've adapted along the way: When I started working at GitHub in late 2015, I noticed that there were many undocumented patterns, I had...

How to create a logo that responds to its own aspect ratio

28.6.2018
One of the cool things about <svg> is that it's literally its own document, so @media queries in CSS inside the SVG are based on its viewport rather than the HTML document that likely contains it. This unique feature has let people play around for years. Tim Kadlec experimented with...

Handling Errors with Error Boundary

26.6.2018
Thinking and building in React involves approaching application design in chunks, or components. Each part of your application that performs an action can and should be treated as a component. In fact, React is component-based and, as Tomas Eglinkas recently wrote, we should leverage that concept...

Users DO Change Font Size

24.6.2018
Evan Minto: The question was “How many users browse the main Internet Archive site with a default font size other than the common value of 16 pixels?” By knowing this, we would determine how many users would be affected by sizing with relative units like rems/ems. Using the methodology I describe...

Managing State in React With Unstated

29.5.2018
As your application becomes more complex, the management of state can become tedious. A component's state is meant to be self-contained, which makes sharing state across multiple components a headache. Redux is usually the go-to library to manage state in React, however, depending on how complex...

Developing a design environment

28.5.2018
Jules Forrest discusses some of the work that her team at Credit Karma has been up to when it comes to design systems. Jules writes: ...in most engineering organizations, you spend your whole first day setting up your development environment so you can actually ship code. It’s generally pretty...
