A global design system is what Brad Frost says we need to save the world from unnecessary repeat (and error prone) work. Dave Rupert and I spoke with Brad on ShopTalk all about it. I still had some questions (you know I’m big on asking questions!), and Brad’s going to think on them. I feel […]

OK it’s HTML time! I love HTML time. We’re laying down a foundation that makes everything feel very real. Is HTML jumping the gun? Nah. The reason that we can jump to HTML right away is that it is common to any other future choice we make. As I mentioned, we might just stay in […]

I like the case Jim Nielsen makes here in Part 2 of his series on why a role of “Design Engineer” makes a lot of sense. You’re given a design with a note: the dividing line between these two containers should be interactive so the user can drag to resize the respective containers on either […]

I had the thought gosh I wish this table’s rows were numbered when I was looking at the big table of Interop 2024 popular votes. I don’t know the that the <table> needed numbering, but when I wanted to know the “rank” of some of the items, I found myself wishing it did. Fortunately, CSS […]

I find it fascinating how websites come to be. Especially websites with user interactivity and functionality, there are so many things to plan, build, and maintain, that it’s no wonder it easily makes for a whole career.

Microsoft Edge is literally injecting a big banner on Chrome’s download page telling people that Edge is better. Of all Microsoft’s tactics, the most objectionable for me is their dissuasive messaging injected directly into the Chrome download page. As […]

I happen to have bookmarked a few new-to-me SVG tools that all seemed to fit together in interesting ways, so I thought I would have a play and share. Raster to SVG One type of these tools is Raster-to-SVG. That is, taking something like a photo and “vectorizing” it. I happen to have my multivitamin […]

While I was over on Codrops reading Adam’s article about Scroll-Driven animation, I also read Noam Rosenthal’s article about View Transitions. Noam is also at Google and working on the View Transitions API, so knows it pretty intimately, and found enough gaps that a library around it was warranted. That’s what Velvette is: a library […]

If you were going to read one article to get you going with Scroll-Driven Animations from scratch, I think Adam Argyle has the one so far.

Here’s what made the list this year: A little while back I measured the “popular vote” on features based on positive GitHub emoji reactions on the threads. So! How well did what was actually chosen stack up to the popular vote? Let’s see. Interesting results I’d say! It’s kind of all over the map. By […]
