Some HTML is “Optional”
11.9.2019
There is a variety of HTML that you can just leave out of the source HTML and it's still valid markup.
Doesn't this look weird?

Site Monetization with Coil (and Removing Ads for Supporters)
13.8.2019
I've tried a handful of websites based on "tip with micropayments" in the past. They come and go. That's fine. From a publisher perspective, it's low-commitment. I've never earned a ton, but it was typically enough to be worth it.
Now Bruce has me trying Coil. It's compelling to me for a couple...

Render Snarky Comments in Comic Sans
25.6.2019
Hilarious idea by Zach Leatherman. To test if a comment is "snarky" or not, there is an npm package up to the task.
On this site, we generally just delete snarky comments, but I still run a WordPress plugin that allows me to "feature" or "bury" comments. It's old but it still works fine in...

Convert Video to Grayscale
24.4.2019
I’m a JavaScript fanatic but I’ve always been fascinated with media manipulation. Maybe it’s because I’ve secretly always wanted to be a designer, but I’m fine with being able to manipulate art with software instead of create the art myself. One type of art I’ve...

22.4.2019
You can have multiple classes on an HTML element:
<div class="module p-2"></div>
Nothing incorrect or invalid there at all. It has two classes. In CSS, both of these will apply:

A historical look at lowercase defaultstatus

Browsers, thank heavens, take backward compatibility seriously.
Ancient websites generally work just fine on modern browsers. There is a way higher chance that a website is broken because of problems with hosting, missing or altered assets, or server changes than there is with changes in...
I Don’t Hate Arrow Functions

Stackbit
12.3.2019
This is not a sponsored post. I requested a beta access for this site called Stackbit a while back, got my invite the other day, and thought it was a darn fine idea that's relevant to us web nerds — particularly those of us who spin up a lot of JAMstack sites.
I'm a big fan of the whole idea...
Revisiting the abbr element
7.2.2019
An irresistible HTML element deep dive from Ire Aderinokun, this time on the <abbr title=""> element for abbreviations. You can kinda just use it (JUI) and it works fine, but if you're hoping to make a tooltip for them (which works on touchscreens as well), then it's much more complicated....
