Animating Between Views in React
21.12.2018
You know how some sites and web apps have that neat native feel when transitioning between two pages or views? Sarah Drasner has shown some good examples and even a Vue library to boot.
These animations are the type of features that can turn a good user experience into a great one. But to achieve...
Regarding CSS’s Global Scope
20.12.2018
html {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
}
With the except of some form elements, you've just set a font on every bit of text on a site! Nice! That's probably what you were trying to do, because of the probably hundreds of elements all over your site, setting that font-family every time would...
Fighting FOIT and FOUT Together
19.12.2018
Lots from Divya with the setup:
There are 2 kinds of problems that can arise when using webfonts; Flash of invisible text (FOIT) and Flash of Unstyled Text (FOUT) ... If we were to compare them, FOUT is of course the lesser of the two evils
If you wanna fight FOIT, the easiest tool is...
Google Fonts and font-display
19.12.2018
The font-display descriptor in @font-face blocks is really great. It goes a long way, all by itself, for improving the perceived performance of web font loading. Loading web fonts is tricky stuff and having a tool like this that works as well as it does is a big deal for the web.
It's such a...
Scotch.io 2018 Year in Review: A Brutally Honest Look
19.12.2018
Another year down in the books! This was a big year for me personally since I will be turning 30 on January 7. Lats year in my 20s. Had to make it count!
I'd like to take a look back at 2018
Ease-y Breezy: A Primer on Easing Functions
18.12.2018
During the past few months, I’ve been actively teaching myself how to draw and animate SVG shapes. I’ve been using CSS transitions, as well as tools like D3.js, react-motion and GSAP, to create my animations.
One thing about animations in general and the documentation these and other animation...
A CSS Venn Diagram
17.12.2018
This is pretty wild: Adrian Roselli has made a series of rather complex Venn diagrams using nothing but CSS. With a combination of the Firefox dev inspector, plus a mixture of CSS Grid and the shape-outside property, it’s possible to do this and without a ton of hacks, too.
I also think it’s super...
Annotated Build Processes
14.12.2018
When you're putting together a build process for a site, it's so dang useful to look at other people's processes. I ran across Andrew Welch's "An Annotated webpack 4 Config for Frontend Web Development" the other day and was glad he blogged it. If I was kicking off a new site where I wanted...
Web Designs That Feel Like Ancient History, but Are More Recent Than You Think
12.12.2018
Flickr announced not long ago that they are limiting free accounts to 1,000 photos. I don't particularly mind that (because it seems like sound business sense), although it is a bit sad that a ton of photos will be nuked from the internet. I imagine the Internet Archive will swoop in and get most...
Creating an Animated Login Form for TouchID
11.12.2018
I came across this amazing Dribbble shot by Jakub Reis a while back. It caught my eye and I knew that I just had to try recreating it in code. At that moment, I didn’t know how. I tried out a bunch of different things, and about a year later, I finally managed to make this demo.
I learned a couple...
Accessible SVG Icons With Inline Sprites
7.12.2018
This is a great look at accessible SVG markup patterns by Marco Hengstenberg. Here's the ideal example:
<button type="button">
Menu
<svg class="svg-icon"
role="img"
height="10"
width="10"
viewBox="0 0 10 10"
aria-hidden="true"
focusable="false">

Browser Diversity Commentary, Regarding the Edge News
6.12.2018
Still no word from the horse's mouth about the reported EdgeHTML demise, but I hear that's coming later today. The blog posts are starting to roll in about the possible impact of this though.
Andre Garzia: While we Blink, we loose the Web:
Even though Opera, Beaker and Brave are all doing very good...
CSS Selectors are Conditional Statements
6.12.2018
foo {
}
Programmatically, is:
if (element has a class name of "foo") {
}
Descendent selectors are && logic and commas are ||. It just gets more complicated from there, with things like combinators and pseudo selectors. Just look at all the ways styles can cascade.

It’s not about the device.
4.12.2018
Ever have that, "Ugighgk, another device to support?!" feeling? Like, perhaps when you heard that wrist devices have browsers? Ethan's latest post is about that.
Personally, the Apple Watch is interesting to me not because it’s a watch. Rather, it’s interesting to me because it’s...
Sayonara Edge
4.12.2018
Sounds like Edge is going to spin down EdgeHTML, the engine that powers edge, and go with Chromium. It's not entirely clear as I write whether the browser will still be called Edge or not. Opera did this same thing in 2013. We'll surely be seeing much more information about this directly from...
Too Much Accessibility
3.12.2018
I like to blog little veins of thought as I see them. We recently linked to an article by Facundo Corradini calling out a tweet of ours where we used an <em> where we probably should have used an <i>.
Bruce Lawson checks if screen readers are the victims of these semantic...
Replace Last Command in Shell
26.11.2018
Whether I fat-finger a command or my MacBook Pro keyboard’s keys don’t want to respond like they should, I’m frequently misspelling commands. What’s more frustrating is that many of these commands are long, taking making fixing theme time-consuming. Luckily a Twitter...
Build a React To-Do App with React Hooks (No Class Components)
13.11.2018
Yes, a to-do app, seems like something we’ve all done in the past. The great thing about a to-do app is that it covers all 4 aspects of CRUD; Create, Read, Update, Delete. As a developer, we need t
Page Flip Layout
12.11.2018
A template with a two-sided, magazine-like layout and a flat page flip animation. The layout is powered by CSS Grid.
