Chrome DevTools’ Command Menu

Something I learnt via Umar Hansa‘s great DevTools Tips is that the Chrome DevTools sport a Command Menu. By hitting SHIFT+CMD+P (same shortcut as Sublime Text’s command menu BTW) you can open it.

Breaking Elements out of Their Containers in CSS

A common thing to see in a design are visuals that break out of the main content column. You most likely have already seen this kind of design over at Medium for example, where it’s common for the main visual to be full width (or “full bleed”), whilst the content remains centered.
