Different Degrees of Custom Property Usage

One way to work with Custom Properties is to think of them as design tokens. Colors, spacings, fonts, and whatnot. You set them at the root of the page and use them throughout your CSS. Very useful, and the classic use case for not only Custom Properties but for preprocessor variables for the last one million years. Another way to work with Custom Properties, which can be done in addition to the design tokens approach, is to go a lot harder and use them for every major un..

Bonsai Browser

Web-browser for research that helps programmers think clearly. With Bonsai, rather than being like, I’m going to go use my web browser now, you hit Option + Space and it brings up a browser. It’s either full-screen or a very minimal float-over-everything window. You can visually organize things into Workspaces. I can see it being quite good for research, but also just getting you to think differently about what a “web browser” interface can be and do for you. ..

CSS is Going Gosh-Darned Hog Wild, I Tell Ya What

As someone just sittin’ back watching CSS evolve, it feels like we’re at one of the hottest moments of innovation in CSS history. It was really something when we got flexbox across all browsers, and not terribly long after, grid. They changed the game from CSS feeling like an awkward collection of tricks to something more sensible and of the times. That feeling keeps getting more and more true all the time.

Less Absolute Positioning With Modern CSS

Ahmad Shadeed blogs the sentiment that we might not need to lean on position: absolute as much as we might have in the past. For one thing: stacking elements.

Google Analytics is powerful analytics software. A common way to use it is to just slap the JavaScript snippet on every page template you have and let it collect basic data about unique visitors and pageviews and such. That’s useful, but it’s also the bare minimum. Say there is an important button on your site. Leveling up, you could send custom events to track users clicking on that button. Those are the analytics that matter the most. Further down that road is trac..

Cash (Tiny jQuery Alternative)

The README for Cash is straightforward: Cash is an absurdly small jQuery alternative for modern browsers (IE11+) that provides jQuery-style syntax for manipulating the DOM. Utilizing modern browser features to minimize the codebase, developers can use the familiar chainable methods at a fraction of the file size. 100% feature parity with jQuery isn’t a goal, but Cash comes helpfully close, covering most day to day use cases. 6 KB minified and gzipped, which is even sm..
