A while ago, Geoff wrote an article about a cool hover effect<\/a>. The effect relies on a combination of CSS pseudo-elements, transforms, and transitions. A lot of comments have shown that the same effect can be done using background properties. Geoff mentioned that was his initial thought and that\u2019s what I was thinking as well.
