Chris’ Corner: Open Sniped

Recently Heikki Lotvonen cooked up a very cool idea: what if the colorization of code output on the web could be handled by the font itself. Syntax highlighting, as it were. So rather than accomplish this with a heaping pile of s with classes to colorize the text, the font file knows how to apply […]

Chris’ Corner: Gold Star CSS Bloggers

CSS still gives me the warm fuzzies sometimes. We’ve gotten so many amazing CSS features the past few years, that each alone makes me happy. But when those features are combined, I’m often stunned and get thinking about how we’re only scratching the surface of what is to come. Take a new demo by Adam […]

Chris’ Corner: Filtering

We updated the Your Work section of CodePen recently. See, it used to have a dropdown menu like this that we labelled β€œView”: This allowed you to scope down the Pens you were looking at below (in a Grid or List view). A single element like that started to feel a little awkward. Especially […]

Chris’ Corner: Variables

CSS has a feature called Custom Properties. You know this. People also β€” somewhat interchangeably β€” refer to these as CSS variables. Somehow, that doesn’t bother me, even though I tend to be a stickler about naming things. For instance, there is no such thing as a frontend developer. There are front-end developers who focus […]

Chris’ Corner: Design Shrinking

While I don’t think you should publish to Medium (at least not as the only place you publish something, you should write on your own site that you control), I get why other people do. You quickly sign up, write some words, hit publish, and the result is a pretty clean-looking presentation of your writing. […]

Chris’ Corner: Incremental Adoption

One of the reasons I can’t stop thinking about native Web Components is how you can use them anywhere. β€œIncremental adoption” is the fancy phrase, I suppose. We’ve even started using them on the new editor for CodePen we’re still hard at work on to solve some interesting issues I’m sure we’ll talk about someday. […]

Chris’ Corner: Esoteric Stuff in CSS

Listen I ain’t trying to scare you, but this CSS stuff can get complicated. It doesn’t have to be. CSS is just selectors with key value pairs in the end. The vast majority of CSS I write is pretty darn straightforward, especially once you have a general system (what files go where? how do we […]

Chris Corner: Git it

Julia Evans has released what she’s saying is one of her most popular zines to date: How Git Works. I don’t think you’d regret reading it. I imagine most of us get by with knowing just enough Git to do our jobs, but are probably using 5% of what it can really do. Being very […]

Chris’ Corner: Let’s Look at Type!

Dan Mall has my favorite post on picking a typeface. I’m no master typographer, but I know enough that I don’t want to be talked to like an absolute beginner where you teach me what a serif is. Dan gets into more realistic decision making steps, like intentionally not picking something ultra popular, admitting that […]

Chris’ Corner: A Variety of Ways to Fail

I’ve done a decent amount of accessibility work in the past few months, largely thanks to a nice fellow who uses JAWS and seems to enjoy our sessions together testing various bits of CodePen, old and new. I use classic tools like the axe and the WebAIM tools to find issues, and still, testing over […]

It continues to be a big year for Web Components. I’m noticing it more this week as it’s effecting some of my friends. My long-time ShopTalk co-host Dave Rupert just got a job at Microsoft working on Fluent UI Web Components. Probably didn’t hurt that he wrote the book on them. I’m stoked that big, […]

Chris Corner: Platforms and Tools

Late last year Google made this showcase microsite The Web Can Do What!?. It’s nicely done!

Google invests a lot […]

Chris Corner: Unusual Ideas with Great Results

SVG Short Circuiting SVG is normally a pretty efficient file format. If an image is vector in nature, leaving it as vector is normally a good plan as it will like scale well and look pretty darn crips. But of course, It Depends. Super complex vector graphics can get huge, and a raster (i.e. JPG, […]

The State of the Subreddit (May 2024)

Hello fellow programs! tl;dr some revisions to the rules to reduce low quality blogspam. The most notable are: banning listicles ("7 cool things I copy-pasted from somebody else!"), extreme beginner articles ("how to use a for loop"), and some limitations on career posts (they must be related to programming careers). Lastly, I want feedback on these changes and the subreddit in general and invite you to vote and use...

If you tend to follow React stuff, you might know that React has a new thing called β€œServer Components”. Mayank has an excellent blog post about them. It starts out with calling out the nice things about them, and then fairly calls out all sorts of not-so-good things about them. Me, I think it’s all […]

Chris’ Corner: Things I Like

I like Melanie Sumner’s coining of the phrase Continuous Accessibility. To me, it’s like a play on the term Continuous Integration (CI) that is very pervasive. We build CI pipelines to lint our code, test our code, and test our code primarily, but all sorts of things can be done. We can test new code […]
