A very nice one page website from the Brooklyn-based studio Selman showcasing just how much web (and other) technology was rooted in innovation by women. Printable posters, too.

Especially on mobile, the slide-out drawer UI/UX seems like a perfect fit for a popover, and works fine on desktop too.

Good observation in Bytes: … new CSS-in-JS libraries are popping up like it’s 2017 all over again. Panda came out last summer, Meta open-sourced StyleX in December, Material UI released PigmentCSS last month, and Restyle just launched a few weeks ago. It’s likely that server-side rendering screwed up the original “batch” of these tools. That, and, ya know, just using CSS is […]

I’m a big fan of View Transitions. Part of what they can do, animating elements across fresh page loads, is a uniquely powerful ability. The performance story, though, is a bit complicated. You might think because you don’t have to reach for a JavaScript framework with Single Page App abilities to do this, it could […]

Michelle Barker’s technique for popover footnotes is great. Here we look at ways we could fight the content duplication. There are ups and downs.

What happens with a CSS @keyframe animation like this when called? There is only one “keyframe” there at 50%. So what happens at 0% through the animation? The scale property is… whatever it already was. And at 100%? Back to whatever it already was. Assuming the default scale of 1, it will grow the element […]

Shape morphing animations can be awfully cool. They can be artistic and elaborate like the waving cape of a brand character, or simple and understated like video player controls morphing from one state to another. Alexandru-Gabriel Ică digs into doing this in <svg>. There is a fairly big prerequisite to these kind of animations: the […]

Boris Schapira takes a look at the Speculation Rules API that we just had a poke at around here. Boris notes that this idea of prefetching (or prerendering) the next page that a user might visit has quite a history. One of the players in this game, which is still a pretty good choice as […]

The experimental CSS function `calc-size(auto)` allows transitions from zero to a specified value. Animating elements from zero to their intrinsic size has long been desired by CSS developers.

Not everybody has smokin’ fast internet. Wait let me try that again. Most people don’t have smokin’ fast internet, especially not all the time. It’s part of the job to make sure our sites aren’t so slow we’re essentially depriving users access. To experience your site with slow internet, under the Network tab of DevTools […]
