Fixed Headers, On-Page Links, and Overlapping Content, Oh My!
3.4.2019
Let's take a basic on-page link:
<a href="#section-two">Section Two</a>
When clicked, the browser will scroll itself to the element with that ID: <section id="section-two"></section>. A browser feature as old as browsers themselves, just about.

KV Storage

localStorage is...
Good! It's an incredibly easy API to use.

But, I also think writing CSS in JavaScript is a good idea for component-based styles in codebases that build...

Reader Mode: The Button to Beat
7.1.2019
As a young nerd, I loved to immerse myself in digital worlds, learning the ins and outs of the rules someone else had created for me (intentionally or not). But the older and crankier I get, the more I find myself losing patience when navigating these "delightful" experiences.

The Elements of UI Engineering

How to Worry About npm Package Weight
18.12.2018
It's all too easy to go crazy with the imports and end up with megabytes upon megabytes of JavaScript. It can be a problem as that weight burdens each and every visitor from our site, very possibly delaying or stopping them from doing what they came to do on the site. Bad for them, worse for you....

Hey,
