Jolly good all round code peddler and pixel diddler. Front-end developer and designer that that smiles a lot and plays basketball at any chance he gets.

That was easily the worst All-Star game I've ever seen. Imagine if you bought tickets?! Such a shame, this used to be such a fun event. I turned it off before the end #NBAAllStarGame 😭

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

@Vator_H_Town I'm close to turning this shit off. It was actually good when they introduced the money and picking teams but it's right back to all the worst aspects. What a waste of time 😓

I let out a little squeee! of delight when I saw the legends at @verbb_io have made a form plugin for #craftcms 😍

It delivered as expected, just a total pleasure to use https://t.co/fgHJIP9M7O

About to have a play with Dato CMS 😀 https://t.co/198a0ry7kc

Just finished season 2 of What We Do In The Shadows, so sad it was over. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I cannot get enough of @porksmith

@DanielOgden I’ll let you know. No diff so far.

After finding out just how similar to Chrome it is in terms of looks and functionality with the console, I’m giving Brave Browser a whirl - https://t.co/emq7U6aMTj

Also using DuckDuckGo to really try and shake off the Google stink - https://t.co/G4m1VlROKj

@d__bailey I feel like I’ll probably have to plug that gap but that’s easy stuff compared to the scroll-snap-type stuff without a library.

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

Seems to good to be true but so far I’m impressed with how simple it was to setup a sectioned scroll locked page complete with smooth scrolling nav links using 2 CSS properties:

scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
scroll-behavior: smooth;

#CSS

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

@d__bailey Apart from Safari (Desktop and iOS) not implementing the smooth scroll, support is surprisingly good.

There is a special place nuzzled at Satan’s fiery bosom for people that prefix Stack Overflow/forum questions with HELP!…

They will be nuzzled right next to the people that have the default KNOCK KNOCK notification sound on Slack.

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

@Nat_Corrinne Yeah!! It’s under advanced settings

I can’t believe it’s taken me this many years to change it so that Slack doesn’t post unless you hold down ⌘ and press enter. The amount of uncooked messages I have sent over the years from pressing enter when trying to so an apostrophe is staggering.

The Framer and Framer Motion sites are utterly glorious. So simple and great.

The delight I feel when VSCode auto updates import paths when you move files/folders is both very real and never reduces in it’s potency 🤩

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

@MrDaveFoy Ha thanks buddy!

💥 New portfolio site! Built using #GatsbyJS and flung into the world using #netlify.

I need to expand on the work section, detailing some specifics about the work I did but my client assures me that’ll be in the budget for phase 2 😉

💥 This is a great Chrome update - https://t.co/EJtTfJ60m4

The ability to emulate vision deficiencies is #a11y gold and the Cross-Origin Embedder Policy (COEP) debugging will be super handy

Just found out that Eric Stoltz was the original Marty McFly and filmed scenes for 5 weeks before he was canned! https://t.co/D5tYnICbaO

Literally had no idea about this and it’s blown my tiny mind 🤯

[Michael Barker @mikeebee]

@JayHealey I’ll take one when it’s dark, it’ll look better 😉
