CSS Viewport Units

26.3.2020
Deep dive from Ahmad. I like the coverage of vmin and vmax, which I think I don't reach for as often as I should. I'm thinking that if you are doing something highly directional (e.g. a full bleed trick), then directly using vw is necessary. On the other hand, if you're doing a calculation where...

Auto-Growing Inputs & Textareas

25.3.2020
By default, <input> and <textarea> elements don't change size based on the content they contain. In fact, there isn't any simple HTML or CSS way to make them do that. Kinda funny, as that seems like a reasonable use-case. But of course, there are ways, my friend. There are always...

How to Buy Weed With Bitcoin

25.3.2020
So you’ve got a little bitcoin to your name but are all out of weed. What you gonna do? Well, if you’re fortunate enough to live in a region where marijuana is legal, there are ways to exchange the two. While if you don’t inhabit such an enlightened area, rumor has it there...

Indicating Scroll Position on a Page With CSS

24.3.2020
Scrolling is something we all know and do on the web to the extent that it’s an expectation or perhaps even a habit, like brushing our teeth. That’s probably why we don’t put too much thought into designing the scrolling experience — it’s a well-known basic function. In fact, the popular “there...

Auto-Archival

20.3.2020
I'm sure most of us have used the ol' Wayback Machine to access some site that's gone offline. I don't actually know how it decides what sites to archive and when, but you can tell it to save pages. There is UI for it right on its homepage. Also, there is a little trick... Typing...

Flexbox and absolute positioning

18.3.2020
Chen Hui Jing notes that when you absolutely position a flex item, it's no longer part of the flex layout. Except... it kinda is a little bit. If you make the child position: absolute; but don't apply any top/right/bottom/left properties, then flexbox alignment will still apply to it. It's odd...

If You Don’t Trust Yourself, These Crypto Vaults Will Help You Hodl Safely

18.3.2020
Hodling in difficult times has historically proven to be a long-term winning strategy. Keeping your cryptocurrency in your own cold storage is by default a good idea as far as security is concerned. But if you don’t trust yourself to not lose a small hardware device or a piece of paper, then...

6 Cryptocurrency Exchanges That Don’t Require KYC

17.3.2020
These days, it’s taken as a given that KYC must be endured to trade cryptos on centralized exchanges. In fact, there are still dozens of exchanges you can access without having to risk your personal documents and identity. The following guide examines six such platforms, and considers...

How to Make a Line Chart With CSS

11.3.2020
Line,  bar, and pie charts are the bread and butter of dashboards and are the basic components of any data visualization toolkit. Sure, you can use SVG or a JavaScript chart library like Chart.js or a complex tool like D3 to create those charts, but what if you don't want to load yet another...

Sass !default and themeable design systems

11.3.2020
This is a great blog post from Brad Frost where he walks us through an interesting example. Let’s say we’re making a theme and we have some Sass like this: .c-text-input { background-color: $form-background-color; padding: 10px } If the $form-background-color variable isn’t defined then...

Make Yourself a Little API With Netlify Functions

10.3.2020
Here's an example of a nice little use case for cloud functions. Glitch has this great package of friendly words. Say you wanted to randomly generate "happy-elephant" or "walking-tree", and you need to do that on your website in JavaScript. Well, this package is pretty big (~200 KB), necessarily...

I Pressed ⌘B. You Wouldn’t Believe What Happened Next

9.3.2020
This talk by Marcin Wichary is — beyond both enthusiastic and outstanding — all about the complexity of UI design, typography, and the lengths his team at Figma has gone to make sure that doing something as simple as selecting a font from a dropdown does what you expect it to. I’d recommend this...

Currying in CSS

6.3.2020
Funny timing on this I was just looking at the website for Utopia (which is a responsive type project which I hate to admit I don't fully understand) and I came across some CSS they show off that looked like this: :root { --fluid-max-negative: (1 / var(--fluid-max-ratio)...

Animating CSS Width and Height Without the Squish Effect

6.3.2020
The first rule of animating on the web: don't animate width and height. It forces the browser to recalculate a bunch of stuff and it's slow (or "expensive" as they say). If you can get away with it, animating any transform property is faster (and "cheaper"). Butttt, transform can be tricky. Check...

JavaScript Libraries Are Almost Never Updated Once Installed

5.3.2020
Some commentary from Zack Bloom on the Cloudflare Blog, looking at requests to CDNJS for versions of jQuery. What we don’t see is a decline in our old versions which come close to the volume of growth of new versions when they’re released. In fact the release of 3.4.1, as popular as it quickly...
