Using JavaScript to Adjust Saturation and Brightness of RGB Colors
6.10.2020
Lately I’ve been taking a look into designing with color (or “colour” as we spell it where I’m from in New Zealand). Looking at Adam Wathan and Steve Schroger’s advice on the subject, we find that we’re going to need more than just five nice looking hex codes from a color palette...
Let’s Make Generative Art We Can Export to SVG and PNG
19.8.2020
Let’s say you’re a designer. Cool. You’ve been hired to do some design work for a conference. All kinds of stuff. Website. Printed schedules. Big posters for the rooms. Preroll slides. You name it.
So you come up with an aesthetic for it all — a design vibe that ties it...
A Community-Driven Site with Eleventy: Preparing for Contributions
19.8.2020
I’ve recently found myself reaching for Eleventy (aka 11ty) above all other tools when I want to develop a website. It’s hard to beat a static site generator that provides advanced templating opportunities while otherwise getting out of your way and allowing you to just create.

More Control Over CSS Borders With background-image
7.8.2020
You can make a typical CSS border dashed or dotted. For example:
.box {
border: 1px dashed black;
border: 3px dotted red;
}
You don’t have all that much control over how big or long the dashes or gaps are. And you certainly can’t give the dashes slants, fading, or animation!...
Dark Ages of the Web
30.7.2020
A very fun jaunt through the early days of front-end web development. They are open to pull requests, so submit one if you’re into this kind of fun chronicling of our weird history!
That CSS3 Button generator really hits home. 😬

I’ll sometimes search the web for something like “Small Text Generator” knowing there will be some website that will turn some dumb thing I want to type like:
Uhm hi when is that meeting again?
into something fun like…

Making My Netlify Build Run Sass
9.6.2020
Let’s say you wanted to build a site with Eleventy as the generator. Popular choice these days! Eleventy doesn’t have some particularly blessed way of preprocessing your CSS, if that’s something you want to do. There are a variety of ways to do it and perhaps that freedom is part...
How to Make a Simple CMS With Cloudflare, GitHub Actions and Metalsmith
14.5.2020
Let’s build ourselves a CMS. But rather than build out a UI, we’re going to get that UI for free in the form of GitHub itself! We’ll be leveraging GitHub as the way to manage the content for our static site generator (it could be any static site generator). Here’s the gist of it: GitHub is going...
Enable Gatsby Incremental Builds on Netlify
1.5.2020
The concept of an “incremental build” is that, when using some kind of generator that builds all the files that make for a website, rather than rebuilding 100% of those files every single time, it only changes the files that need to be changed since the last build. Seems like...
The Hero Generator

Sarah:
I’ve had to implement the same hero for several years now, so like a good lazy programmer, I figured I’d automate it.

Static or Not?
27.4.2020
A quick opinion piece by Kev Quirk: Why I Don’t Use A Static Site Generator. Kev uses WordPress:
Want to blog on my iPad? I can. Want to do it on my phone? No problem. On a machine I don’t normally use? Not an issue, as long as it has a browser.
First, it’s worth understanding...
Let a website be a worry stone
1.4.2020
Ethan Marcotte just redesigned his website and wrote about how the process was a distraction from the difficult things that are going on right now. Adding new features to your blog or your portfolio, tidying up performance issues, and improving things bit by bit can certainly relieve a lot...

Neumorphism.io
12.2.2020
I was sort of making fun of neumorphism the other day. I don't actually care that much. I mostly just think it only works on some flat colored backgrounds, mostly really light colors, and somehow that feels weirdly limiting. (nope, sure, sure, nope 🤷‍♂️).
Anyway,...
Possibly The Easiest Way to Run an SSG
4.2.2020
"Static Site Generator," that is. We'll get to that in a second.
Netlify is a sponsor of this site (thank you very much), and I see Zach Leatherman has gone to work over there now. Very cool. Zach is the creator of Eleventy, an SSG for Node. One thing of the many notable things about Eleventy...

Jason Lengstorf:
Here’s an incomplete list of things that I’ve repeatedly heard people claim the JAMstack can’t handle that it definitely can:
Load data asynchronously
Handle processing files, such as manipulating images
Read from and write to a database
Handle user authentication and protect...
