Fixed and sticky positioning behave very differently, but we can switch between the two at exact points for some unusual looking effects.
For who-knows-what reason color inputs only show a color swatch, not a string representation of the color. Let’s see if we can fix that.
::selection is cool, but scoping it to selectors like :nth-child(5n+2) is even more fun, especially on a love filled ay like Valentine’s Day.
I think it’s fun to take stock of the tools we use as developers. You know, so we can look back and laugh at our primitive setups. And actually, to inspire you to share yours so I can steal all your better tools. Here’s a rundown of stuff I use, focused mostly on literal apps […]
All sorts of great stuff coming up for all our members. Intermediate React, Complete Go, CSS Basics, TypeScript Monorepos, and so much more.
There is some low-hanging web performance fruit with images. Serving them in the right format, from a CDN, with the right HTML can be a big perf win.
The & is a powerful addition to CSS, allowing us to craft selectors without repetition and helping organization and understanding.
A rare fundamental change to browser default stylesheets: <h1> elements used to get smaller the more <section>s they were nested within, but no more. I would guess because the HTML Outlining Algorithm never really materialized.
A bit of a pivot from the Redwood gang, splitting RedwoodJS into Redwood GraphQL …
To minimize disruption and provide clarity going forward, we’re renaming the existing RedwoodJS framework to Redwood GraphQL, reflecting its strength as a mature, stable framework built around GraphQL.
… and the newfangled RedwoodSDK. Redwood has always been ultra opinionated (I remember making a slide about it once), and so this feels in-line to me. It’s now so opinionated it adds where you can host it to the mix. But I get it — Cloudflare’s stuff is pretty unique/cool/powerful/opinionated in itself, so it’s a good match. I was also just bemoaning React Server Components slow uptick, and now eating my words as now another major-ish framework is supporting them.
Matt Smith on when to use map() vs. forEach() in JavaScript. Just one of those things I can imagine asking or being asked in a coding interview. Some interesting comments below the article as well.
