Hitman 3: The Kotaku Review
19.1.2021
Hitman 3 made me care more about its plot than crafting the perfect murder. The narrative, which I usually see as a flimsy excuse to play dress-up and cause globe-spanning mayhem, bleeds into the structure of its levels and creates some unexpected moments of emotion and vulnerability. Its dark...

The Fictional Characters, TV Shows, and Movies We Lost in 2020
23.12.2020
It was a rough year for all of us in the real world, but those fictional universes we spend so much time in didn’t get off scot-free. A lot of television shows ended their runs this year, and a lot of our favorite characters from sci-fi, fantasy, and horror took their final bows as well. Here...

Modifying Specific Letters with CSS and JavaScript
10.9.2020
Changing specific characters can be a challenge in CSS. Often, we’re forced to implement our desired changes one-by-one in HTML, perhaps using the span element. But, in a few specific cases, a CSS-focused solution may still be possible. In this article, we’ll start by looking at some CSS-first...
Stroke Text CSS: The Definitive Guide
4.9.2020
Whenever I think of stroked text on the web I think: nope.
There is -webkit-text-stroke in CSS for it, but it places that stroke in the middle of the vector outline of the characters, absolutely ensuring that the character doesn’t look right. Just look at this in Chrome or Safari. Gross....
Match Accented Letters with Regular Expressions
6.8.2020
Regular expressions are used for a variety of tasks but the one I see most often is input validation. Names, dates, numbers…we tend to use regular expressions for everything, even when we probably shouldn’t. The most common syntax for checking alphabetic characters is A-z but what...

Hey gang, #BlackLivesMatter.
One tiny way I thought we could help here on this site, aside from our efforts as individuals, is to highlight some design resources that are both excellent and feature Black people. Representation matters.
Here’s one. You know Pablo Stanley? Pablo is a wonderful...
Footnote Characters
20.2.2020
They are special superset numbers that are sometimes perfect for footnotes. Here they are:
¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹
I generally prefer to superscript the number myself, like:
<pThis next word<sup1</suphas a footnote.</p
You'd probably add an anchor link around that as well to link to an...
Gotta Select’em All
3.1.2020
I suspect it is not highly known that CSS can control how text is selected. You can do user-select: none; to prevent some text from being selected. That's probably not terribly good UX in general, but perhaps you use some period (.) characters as decoration or something, I could see preventing...
How Facebook Avoids Ad Blockers
9.12.2019
Dylan Paulus:
Facebook actually hides 'dummy' DOM nodes between the 'Sponsored' text. These values are entirely random characters, with a random number of DOM nodes between them. Invisible characters. At this point our CSS ad blocker is completely broken. There is no way for us to possibly code...
