This new CSS feature in the pipeline is going to help us set type with more precision on the web. Excited for this! https://t.co/33DKPNYpwO #FrontEnd#typography#design
Thanks @ChrisCoyier for making us all feel seen, writing about growing #FrontEnd#developer responsibilities: https://t.co/bQWY7Padn5 It'd be neat if they threw in a time machine to learn our way around all the new toys, but I guess that'd just be one more thing to debug...
It's obnoxious that SVG strokes straddle the line of the shapes they go around.
But you *can* say: hey! paint the stroke first *then* the fill, so the fill will overlap half of the stroke (better).
You do that with `paint-order` https://t.co/j1qZE0H1F6 by @geoffreygraham
Great tool by @FontShop for trying fonts in different layouts before buying. There's a lot you can tweak, but no tracking for some reason. Adjusting letter-spacing via #css in dev tools does the trick as a work-around https://t.co/rOwMIM0LuO #frontenddev#typography#webdesign
Just published my first ever article on #WorldPasswordDay π Thanks @LastPass for building a product worth raving about! Whether you're getting into #webdev or a total #technewbie this is for you. https://t.co/q3OtOuFJ6j
@jensimmons@csswg It might be useful to control whether a given element should continue past the fold, stop at the fold or skip past the fold if there's not enough space for it above. Interesting to see both auto + manual approaches to this
Since I discovered I could explain code to people, I haven't stopped. Super proud of my 16 #js students who all just passed their first exam! πππ #lovemyjob
Don't "work harder." Instead:
Cut away distractions.
Stop doing fake work.
Ask for help.
Plan.
Solicit criticism.
Automate what can be automated.
Engage your mentors.
Exercise.
Get more sleep.
Whatever you do, don't "work harder." It's pretty much never the answer.
First time teaching code to a class today! #LearnToCode π But let's be real, #UX and #ResponsiveDesign were just excuses to stare longingly back at @GelatoMessina from over the seas. Let us know when you deliver to Berlin π https://t.co/hzhZ895a0f
βWhen you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new thingsβ Steve J.
@jensimmons Native form validation in HTML appears useful at first, but turns out to behave inconsistently and is poorly supported. This 3-part article goes into detail: https://t.co/KmGUyPW9Gc Solid strategies for handling this reliably and accessibly would be great.
