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 […]

Looks like the nice folks at Sparkbox put this animation comparison page together a few years ago. I love how extremely comprehensive it is. Of course we can animate things on the web with CSS, and there is a whole JavaScript API for it, and loads of JavaScript libraries all with different characteristics, but don’t […]

JavaScript Rising Stars is interesting to look at year after year because of the simple methodology of measuring how many more GitHub Stars a project gets year after year. A project like React with a massive amount of star-based popularity isn’t guaranteed to top the list, and in fact this year clocks in at #7. […]

The <dialog> element in HTML is tremendous. We’ve got support across the board now, so using it is a smart plan. Just with basic usage, you get a centered modal dialog experience that comes up when you call it, a dimmed background, focus trapped within it, closes with the ESC key, and focus returning where […]

I was compelled by the original release of Zed: Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. Atom was a pretty darn fine code editor, only scuttled by the fact that Microsoft bought GitHub back in 2018. Atom was GitHub’s thing, and Microsoft already had VS Code. At the […]

I found this review of Letterboxd onboarding, ostensibly about the “Jobs to be Done” theory, really nicely done. If you’re going to critique something, this is an awfully helpful way to do it. These guys Dan Benoni and Louis-Xavier Lavallee have a bunch of these “story format” things.

I’m a fan of just chucking SVG icons right into the HTML where you need them: This has lots of benefits, like instant loading with no additional requests, and is 100% styleable, including all the internal parts (i.e. multicolor icons). But, putting your SVG icons in CSS can be advantageous too. This converter is handy. […]

Andrey Sitnik does a good job each year investigating what websites actually need in terms of doing the best we can for site favicons. The 2024 edition is out, and it looks like this: It’s worth knowing what you actually need, as there are quite a few “favicon generator” websites out there that spit out […]

The caption on this image in Niko Kitsakis’s article In Praise of Buttons speaks to me.
