What if we could mutate data *and* get all the data back we need to properly update the UI in just one network round-trip?
It was a lovely day on the internet when someone asked how to CSS animated gradient text like ChatGPT’s “Searching the web” and promptly got an answer saying “Have you tried asking ChatGPT? Here’s what it told me!” – well, maybe not these exact words, but at least it rhymes. Both the question and this […]
Blobs! Gooey weird shapes you can fill with any background and even animate.
Google Translate doesn’t change the `dir` of a site when translating from LTR to RTL… but you could.
A container query can contain viewport units, meaning you can compare the window vs the element and make choices.
Use the `arc` command within the `shape()` function we can draw a line that follows a circle from one point to the next, controlling the direction.
Don’t underestimate `shape()` — it’s the CSS version of SVG
A little reminder from Matt Smith that getting the last item in an Array is easier now:
const fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
/* newer, easier */
console.log(fruits.at(-1));
/* older, harder */
console.log(fruits[fruits.length - 1]);
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)Josh Comeau does a great job with beginner-friendly explanations of important concepts, and Promises From The Ground Up is no exception. In a nutshell, we have Promises because we need callbacks. We need callbacks because JavaScript is single-threaded and can’t wait around for things. And so we dance. These days, you’ll see more async and await, but it’s just what they call “syntactic sugar” over Promises, which is to say, a cleaner way to write the same code.
Will Sentance goes deep into Promises in JavaScript: The Hard Parts when you’re ready.
I know that you can “chain” the CSS property filter, like:
.element {
filter: blur(2px) grayscale(80%) contrast(200%);
}Code language: CSS (css)All three of those filters will apply. But somehow I never thought about applying the same filter more than once. That also works, and they don’t override each other, they “stack” (or whatever you want to call it).
So here’s some useless bar trivia for you. What is blurrier, filter: blur(2px) or filter: blur(1px) blur(1px)? Answer.
