“weeds of specificity”

13.3.2020
Lara Schenck: [...] with WordPress child themes, you are all but guaranteed to get into the weeds of specificity, hunting around theme stylesheets that you didn’t author, trying to figure out what existing declaration is preventing you from applying a new style, and then figuring out the least...

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

12.3.2020
Brent Jackson says CSS utility libraries failed somewhat: Eventually, you'll need to add one-off styles that just aren't covered by the library you're using, and there isn't always a clear way to extend what you're working with. Without a clear way to handle things like this, developers tend...

Programming Sass to Create Accessible Color Combinations

12.3.2020
We are always looking to make the web more accessible. Color contrast is just math, so Sass can help cover edge cases that designers might have missed. The post Programming Sass to Create Accessible Color Combinations appeared first on CSS-Tricks

Block Links Are a Pain (and Maybe Just a Bad Idea)

10.3.2020
As we noted in our complete guide, you can put an <a href=""> link around whatever chunks of HTML you like. Let's call that a "block link." Like you are wanting to link up an entire "Card" of content because it makes a big clickable target. <a href="/article/"<!-- display: block;...

Considerations When Choosing Fonts for a Multilingual Website

10.3.2020
As a front-end developer working for clients all over the world, I've always struggled to deal with multilingual websites — especially cases where both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) are used. That said, I’ve learned a few things along the...

Adventures in CSS Semi-Transparency Land

9.3.2020
Recently, I was asked to make some tweaks to a landing page and, among the things I found in the code, there were two semitransparent overlays — both with the same RGB values for the background-color — on top of an image. Something like this: <img src='myImage.jpg'/> <div...

Geoff’s Redesign Posts

9.3.2020
I love it when people redesign "in the open" and write about it. I'd just like to shout out to our own Geoff who has been doing this for 3 months now. He started in late December last year. He's been sharing stuff like his dev tooling choices, considering performance, considering accessibility...

What to Use Instead of Number Inputs

6.3.2020
You might reach for <input type="number> when you're, you know, trying to collect a number in a form. But it's got all sorts of issues. For one, sometimes what you want kinda looks like a number, but isn't one (like how a credit card number has spaces), because it's really just a string...

Currying in CSS

6.3.2020
Funny timing on this I was just looking at the website for Utopia (which is a responsive type project which I hate to admit I don't fully understand) and I came across some CSS they show off that looked like this: :root { --fluid-max-negative: (1 / var(--fluid-max-ratio)...

The 3 Laws of Serverless

6.3.2020
Burke Holland thinks that to "build applications without thinking about servers" is a pretty good way to describe serverless, but... Nobody really thinks about servers when they are writing their code. I mean, I doubt any developer has ever thrown up their hands and said “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait...

The Slideout Footer

5.3.2020
A fascinating new site called The Markup just launched. Tagline: Big Tech Is Watching You. We’re Watching Big Tech. Great work from Upstatement. The content looks amazing, but of course, around here we're always interested in the design and tech as well. There is loads to adore, from the clean...

Automated Selenium Testing with Jest and LambdaTest

5.3.2020
You know what the best thing is about building and running automated browser tests is? It means that the site you're doing it on really matters. It means you're trying to take care of that site by making sure it doesn't break, and it's worth the time to put guards in place against that breakages....

Just Dropping Some Type Links

3.3.2020
I've had a bunch of tabs open that just so happen to all be related to typography, so I figured I'd give myself the mental release of closing them by blogging them. How's that for a blog post format for ya: whatever random tabs you've had open for far too long. Times New Roman is popular on...

Unfortunately, clip-path: path() is Still a No-Go

2.3.2020
I was extremely excited when I first heard that clip-path: path() was coming to Firefox. Just imagine being able to easily code a breathing box like the one below with just one HTML element and very little CSS without needing SVG or a huge list of points inside the polygon function! Chris...
