There are no browser implementations of mixins yet, nor a fleshed out spec. So perhaps now is the best time to try to understand and opine.
Maybe you’re the person to write them?
What if you could make a card like a 3D portal, with layers of depth? You probably should just click to see, it’s a very compelling look.
It maintains space for where a scrollbar would be, whether there actually is one or not. But do you always want that?
I recently came across this CodePen demo by Vivi Tseng, which creates the blur extension effect by placing a square div with a blur() beneath the img element and I couldn’t help but think a simpler solution should be possible with a single img element and minimal CSS. So let’s first take a look at […]
It’s already quite impressive you can build a carousel with no JS at all (in Chrome, for now, anyway) and with some checkbox-hack stuff we can control dynamically what is shown.
Just a simple link tag in HTML can point to an online wallet to take payments, and a JavaScript API to react to them. But it’s (still) early days.
Matt Smith with wonderfully straightforward writing on why default parameters for functions are a good idea. I like the tip where you can still do it with an object-style param.
function createUser({ name = 'Anonymous', age = 24 } = {}) {
console.log(`${name} is ${age} years old.`);
}
createUser(); // Anonymous is 24 years old.Code language: JavaScript (javascript)Nikita Prokopov in I am sorry, but everyone is getting syntax highlighting wrong:
… if everything is highlighted, nothing stands out. Your eye adapts and considers it a new norm: everything is bright and shiny, and instead of getting separated, it all blends together.
I think there are some strong points made here.
But 😬 to be honest I installed the (Zed version of) Alabaster and I certainly didn’t immediately fall in love. I’m going to give it more time, but it doesn’t seem to be delivering the cognitive clarity the thinking behind it wants it to.
Banger page from the Chrome DevRel team showcasing the incredible year CSS had.
I think it’s cool our industry has these high quality documentaries documenting the stories behind some of the transformative tech in what we do. The Vite one just came out about a month ago.
What would you pick if you could pick the next one? I wouldn’t mind hearing about early-days AWS or Docker. Maybe CSS itself or even just web standards (we have Jay Hoffman’s book here, which is nice). The jQuery Reunion is coming up, maybe they should take the opportunity to get those folks.
