Snowpack

14.1.2020
Snowpack. Love that name. This is the new thing from the Pika people, who are on to something. It's a bundler alternative, in a sense. It runs over packages you pull from npm to make sure that they are ES module-compatible (native imports). This is how I digest it. When you write a line of code...

Water.css

11.1.2020
It's notable that Water.css was the #1 clicked thing from Louis Lazaris' Web Tools Weekly in 2019. It's from a 13-year old developer named Felix! It's just a little bit of CSS you apply to class-free semantic HTML to give it nice basic responsive styles — the perfect kind of thing for a...

The Ultimate Guide to Dark Mode for Email Marketers

7.1.2020
On the regular web (I suppose) we handle "dark mode" with the CSS prefers-color-scheme media query. But, and to nobody's surprise, it's way weirder in the land of HTML email. The weirdness is that across different email clients, they handle the dark mode thing differently, starting with the fact...

How to Build Your Resume on npm

2.1.2020
Just yesterday, Ali Churcher shared a neat way to make a resume using a CSS Grid layout. Let’s build off that a bit by creating a template that we can spin up whenever we want using the command line. The cool thing about that is that you’ll be able to run it with just one command. I know...

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,...

One Way to Break Users Out of the Habit of Reloading Too Much

30.12.2019
Page reloads are a thing. Sometimes we refresh a page when we think it’s unresponsive, or believe that new content is available. Sometimes we’re just mad at the dang site and rage-refresh to let it know we’re displeased. Wouldn’t be nice to know when a user refreshes the page? Not just that,...

7 Uses for CSS Custom Properties

27.12.2019
I find all seven of these quite clever and useful. I particularly like using custom properties when you can sneak a variation into a place where you'd normally have to re-declare a whole big chunk of code. .some-element { background-color: hsla( var(--h, 120), var(--s, 50), var(--l...

PHP Templating in Just PHP

26.12.2019
With stuff like template literals in JavaScript and templating languages, like JSX, I've gotten used to wanting to write my HTML templates in one nice chunk and sprinkling in variables wherever I need them. I had a situation where I needed to do that in "raw" PHP the other day, so I'm just...

2019 Google and Yahoo Searches for Bitcoin Decline Significantly

24.12.2019
2019 was an interesting year for cryptocurrencies. Some would say it wasn’t as bad as the crypto winter in 2018 and others would note it wasn’t as great as bull run 2017. One thing’s for sure, ever since the all-time price highs, interest in cryptocurrencies has been waning....

Highlights of the HTTP Archive Web Almanac

23.12.2019
I recently looked at the CSS chapter of the Web Alamanc and had some thoughts. Here, Stefan Judis looks at the whole thing and rounds up the most interesting bits to him. Here are most of them: 20% of sites don't compress their JavaScript. React is on 5% of sites while jQuery is on 85% of sites....

Clips from my DEV AMA

20.12.2019
I recently did an AMA over on DEV. Just taking the opportunity to port over some answers here like a good indiewebber. If you were starting out as a front end dev in 2020, what would you say is the first thing you would learn and why? You need to put yourself in a position where it's your job...

Two Lessons I Learned From Making React Components

19.12.2019
Here’s a couple of lessons I’ve learned about how not to build React components. These are things I've come across over the past couple of months and thought they might be of interest to you if you’re working on a design system, especially one with a bunch of legacy technical decisions and a lot...

The JAMstack Landscape

17.12.2019
It's no big secret that Netlify invented the term JAMstack. While it's possible to embrace the JAMstack without using Netlify, it's notable that Netlify is at the very heart of the whole "JAMstack landscape." What does "JAMstack landscape" even mean? I like the term because it sets the stage that...
