let vs. const

9.1.2020
There are multiple ways to declare variables in JavaScript. We had var, and while that still works like it always has, it is generally said that let and const are replacements to the point we rarely (if ever) need var anymore. This doodle explanation does a pretty good job, if you need...

Why the Counter Economy Is Necessary to Bitcoin’s Survival as a Disruptive Currency

9.1.2020
As Bitcoin is adopted by more and more traditional financial institutions, and becomes regulated by governments worldwide, the question of its survival as a truly disruptive alternative to legacy financial systems is raised. After all, if governments like Qatar’s can ban it, and international...

The Auto-Flowing Powers of Grid’s Dense Keyword

8.1.2020
Let's say we're working on the homepage of a news website. You're probably used to seeing some card-based content in a grid layout, right? Here's a classic example, The New York Times: Yeah, something like that. There are going to be some cards/elements/boxes/whatever that need to take up more...

Why every website wants you to accept its cookies

6.1.2020
I'm probably in the minority on this, but I've never ever built one of those "This site uses cookies, here's some kind of explanation of why, and please click this OK button to accept that" bars that feels like they are on half of the internet. Emily Stewart: Most of us just tediously click “yes”...

Crypto Fundraising Is Changing Again in 2020

4.1.2020
Funding is a prerequisite for any new crypto project, but with IEOs likely to play a reduced role in 2020, where will the all-important capital come from? While minted entities like Ripple, Tezos, and Tron certainly have the means to plow tens of millions into their chosen ventures, they...

Is “is” Useful?

3.1.2020
God I'm funny. Anytime we have fairly repetitive selectors that have a common parent, it's probably a place we can use the :is() pseudo-selector. Holger Bartel demonstrates like this: section section h1, section article h1, section aside h1, section nav h1, article section h1, article article...

Microbrowsers are Everywhere

3.1.2020
The word "microbrowser" clearly got my attention. Never heard that before. Colin Bendell defines them as the little parts of other software that do HTTP requests to a URL to generate a preview. Like the little URL preview in iOS messages, WhatsApp, or Slack. I'm a tiny bit skeptical of the name...

Why Double Spends on BCH Are Not the Same as Replace-By-Fee Fraud

3.1.2020
When it comes to creating a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, accepting zero confirmation transactions becomes critically important. When a model’s main aim is to “just hodl” or push an isolated store of value narrative, important concerns like double spending can take a back...

Hats off to Neal Agarwal for some stellar interactive work lately, like The Deep Sea, a vertical scrolling experience to help us understand the depth of the oceans, and The Size of Space, a side-scrolling experience to help us understand the size scale of things in the universe (check out Josh...

PSA: It’s That Time to Update the Copyright Year on Your Site

1.1.2020
Every year about this time I see articles going around reminding people how to update the copyright on their websites. Usually somewhere in the footer. You know, a line like: © Copyright 2007-2019 CSS-Tricks I am very absolutely not a lawyer, but this is how I understand it: You don't actually...

A Use Case for a Parent Selector

31.12.2019
Having a "parent selector" in CSS is mentioned regularly as something CSS could really use. I feel like I've had that thought plenty of times myself, but then when I ask my brain for a use case, I find it hard to think of one. Well, I just had one so I thought I'd document it here. A classic...

Wufoo + Zapier

31.12.2019
Wufoo has always been great with integrations. They have integrations with specific apps, like Campaign Monitor, Mailchimp, and Typekit, but they also integrate with Zapier, which is sort of like an integration inside an integration. That's kinda meta, but the idea is actually pretty...

Gatsby and WordPress

31.12.2019
Gatsby and WordPress is an interesting combo to watch. On one hand, it makes perfect sense. Gatsby can suck up data from anywhere, and with WordPress having a native REST API, it makes for a good pairing. Of course Gatsby has a first-class plugin for sourcing data from WordPress that even supports...

A CSS Tribute to SVG

31.12.2019
This demo from Jérémie Patonnier is incredible. Make sure to look at it in Firefox because some Chrome bug apparently prevents the entire thing from working. The big idea is that the entire demo is one <rect> element. That's it. It is duplicated with <use> elements when needed,...

What it means to be a front-end developer in 2020 (and beyond)

29.12.2019
I wrote a piece for Layout, the blog of my hosting sponsor Flywheel. Stick around in this field for a while, and you'll see these libraries, languages, build processes, and heck, even entire philosophies on how best to build websites come and go like a slow tide. You might witness some...
