Our friends might be hearing, or seeing, or touching the story so we are going to interpret and translate...

JavaScript Proxy with Storage

The JavaScript Proxy API provides a wealth of “magic” within JavaScript, allowing you to use any object as sort of an alias that allows a wall of validation, formatting, and error throwing. Did you know that you could also employ the Proxy API as an abstraction to different types...

Responsive Iframes
25.7.2019
Say you wanted to put the CSS-Tricks website in an <iframe>. You'd do that like this:
<iframe src="https://css-tricks.com"></iframe>

Don’t comma-separate :focus-within if you need deep browser support
24.7.2019
I really like :focus-within. It's a super useful selector that allows you to essentially select a parent element when any of its children are in focus.
