- GitHub *finally* moved the + and - symbols from diffs to CSS pseudo-elements, making it possible to copy code directly from a diff without having to clean it up. That is long overdue and fantastic. ✨
- Sharing a link with someone in 2018: 😀 Open web page 🙂 Close cookie banner 😐 Decline desktop notifications 😕 Dismiss newsletter popup 🙁 Remove UTM parameters from URL 😶 Finally send link
- I just remembered Slack supports sed-like syntax to edit a message. 🤯 For instance: /s/great/amazing/ would replace the word “great” by “amazing” in the last message. 🔥
00:00 - Dear designers of the web, no matter how cool light grey on white looks, you can’t do that. Thank you, —Anyone without perfect vision
- Given how straight-forward HTML is, it's quite surprising how many front-end developers don't know its fundamentals. Don't skip on learning HTML if you work on web UIs, folks! It's the core of what we do, it's important. 🌟
- I have terrible eyesight, so I use Twitter’s largest font size (from their Display settings) and I can tell you no one is testing the interface with that setting.
- In the series “interfaces that are never tested with a zoom above 100%”, may I present GitHub. Hire people like me: incredibly cute ✨ but with terrible eyesight. I use most sites at 150%+ zoom and I stumble upon things like this daily.
- Replying to @KittyGiraudelSo, it turns out that it’s a feature from GitHub Refined from @sindresorhus, not from GitHub itself. My apologies for the short-lived happiness. That being said, if you didn’t give Refined GitHub a try, now is a good time! 👌
- This is why we can’t have nice things, because of dipshit ideas like this. What a dreadful move, contributing to polluting an increasingly unreliable internet. This is something to be fucking ashamed of, not celebrated.
- ✨ Formally introducing “Selectors Explained” now that it works okay. 🤯 A small utility to demystify CSS selectors, explaining them in plain English. 🔗 hugogiraudel.github.io/selectors-expl…
- Absolutely horrendous idea which would be a significant accessibility drawback. Don’t do that, ever. Downright terrible—it’s not a CSS tip, it’s a CSS mistake.💚CSS Tip💚 🛠 Now you can not select the text of the website. 👀👇
