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. Perhaps one of the most cliché introductory things to build on the web (or otherwise), is a to-do […]

Props to Cennydd Bowles and Harry Bringnull for calling out this poor behavior on Microsoft’s part. 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 […]

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 […]
