How to Detect the Default Branch in a git Repository

28.9.2020
Over the past few years, many engineering teams have switched their default git branch name from master to a different, potentially less offensive term. I’m all for choosing to name your default branch whatever you’d like, but not having a universal default branch name can complicate...

Web Technologies and Syntax

24.9.2020
JavaScript has a (newish) feature called optional chaining. Say I have code like: const name = Data.person.name; If person happens to not exist on Data, I’m going to get a hard, show-stopping error. With optional chaining, I can write: const name = Data.person?.name; Now if person...

Accessible Web Animation: The WCAG on Animation Explained

It’s true, web animation can be accessible! Sometimes it just takes a little extra effort to make sure that it is. There are strategic things we can do to make sure our animations have a positive impact on accessibility, like planning how they contribute to the overall UX and ease of use of...

Thinking About Power Usage and Websites

22.9.2020
Gerry McGovern asked if I had any insight into energy consumption and websites. He has a book, after all, about the digital costs on the planet. He was wondering about the specifics of web tech, like… If you do this in HTML it will consume 3× energy but if you do it in JavaScript it will...

Nova

21.9.2020
Nova is a new (vehemently macOS-only) code editor from Panic, the folks behind Coda. It’s like “Coda 3” except this was such a major re-write that they gave it a whole new name. I played with some of the betas as they were building it. I got a little discount as it went live, so...

Vue 3

19.9.2020
It’s out! Congrats to the Vue team for getting it done, I know it was a massive effort and a long time coming. All new docs, as well. I like it’s still a priority that Vue can be used with just a <script tag with no build process at all. But it’s ready for build processes...

Optimizing CSS for faster page loads

18.9.2020
A straightforward post with some perf data from Tomas Pustelnik. It’s a good reminder that CSS is a crucial part of thinking web performance, and for a huge reason: Any time [the browser] encounters any external resource (CSS, JS, images, etc.) it will assign it a download priority...

Lessons Learned from Sixty Days of Re-Animating Zombies with Hand-Coded CSS

16.9.2020
I’ll be linking to individual Pens as I discuss the lessons I learned, but if you’d like to get a sense of the entire project, check out 60 days of Animation on Undead Institute. I started this project to end on August 1st, 2020, coinciding with the publication of a book I wrote featuring...

Editing HTML Like A Boss In VS Code

16.9.2020
Here’s a seven minute video from Caleb Porzio that focuses on some of Emmet‘s HTML editing features. You might think of Emmet as that thing that expands abbreviations like table.stats>tr*3>td*3 into glorious, expanded, and perfect HTML. But Emmet has other HTML editing trickery...

What is the Value of Browser Diversity?

15.9.2020
In 2018, Rachel Nabors made the point that browser diversity is similar to biological ecosystem diversity. There are literal advantages to more diversity. That article was before the Edge engines were shut, and now the big shakeups at Mozilla have the topic of browser diversity on people’s...

Interaction Media Features and Their Potential (for Incorrect Assumptions)

14.9.2020
The Media Queries Level 4 Interaction Media Features — pointer, hover, any-pointer and any-hover — are meant to allow sites to implement different styles and functionality (either CSS-specific interactivity like :hover, or JavaScript behaviors, when queried using window.matchMedia), depending...
