Some notes: Great to see that Vue grew out of a personal need, not a plan to make money. Those projects always win. It requires one to invest a lot of personal time and effort into their projects … remember that, before you start complaining about something in a repository (or in a blog’s comment …

esbuild – An extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier
Interesting work by Evan Wallace, a JS bundler/minifier written in Go. Since it compiles down to native code, it’s fast: My main benchmark approximates a large codebase by duplicating the three.js library 10 times and building a single bundle from scratch, without any caches. For this benchmark, esbuild is 10-100x faster than the other JavaScript …

React Query provides you with a set of hooks to fetch data in React. Think of pages that use pagination, infinite scroll, auto-refetching, etc. It’s backend agnostic, so sources can be REST, GraphQL, etc. Here’s an example that uses pagination import React from 'react' import fetch from '../libs/fetch' import { usePaginatedQuery } from 'react-query' export …

There are some cases where even using plain ol’ HTML causes accessibility problems. I’m going to start rounding up those HTML shortfalls in this here post …

If you’ve ever implemented a design with a fixed header, you’ve surely had this problem: You click a jump link like <a href="#header-3">Jump</a> which links to something like <h3 id="header-3">Header</h3>. That's totally fine, until you have a position: fixed; header at the top of the page obscuring the h3 you're trying to link to! Fixed …
By applying some math you can give an element that you’re dragging around a more natural feel … See the Pen Sigmoid-2 by Nash Vail (@nashvail) on CodePen. How to fix dragging animation in UI with simple math →
The Mandalorian’s set used some serious Danger Room/Holodeck stuff to pull off a virtual shot-on-location feel for its many different settings, and powering the world projected on its giant LED wall was none other than Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4. The setup allowed the cast to shoot in multiple locations in a single day, to …
