Engaging Focus Rings
Nice little demo by Adam Argyle in which he makes the focus ring pop by changing its outline-offset (with a transition) on focus.
The code also correctly respects the user’s prefers-reduced-motion preference.
HTML boilerplate
Recently I had two occasions where I needed to create a simple one-page placeholder for a full website that’s still in the works. As a basis for my code I turned to Manuel Matuzović‘s HTML Boilerplate.
Visualizing DOM Events
A visualizer to help you learn how the DOM Event system works through exploration. Explore event phases, stopping events, canceling events, passive events and more.
Poté — Open Up
Combine a SBTRKT-like voice with beats like The Blaze make ‘m, put ‘m under Bonobo’s wings, and you get Poté.

CSS Text Morphing
Similar to this 2019 demo by CodePen user Valgo (which uses SVG to create the effect), Amit Sheen created this wonderful CSS-only Word Morphing demo:
The key parts to this demo are the filter on the wrapping .morphing element combined with the animated blurring on the .word elements themselves. You need both to get the wanted effect.
Headless UI — Completely Unstyled, Fully Accessible UI Components
Headless UI provides a nice set of bare bones React/Vue components — Menu (Dropdown), Listbox (Select), Switch (Toggle), Dialog (Modal), etc. — for us to use in our UIs.
Completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components, designed to integrate beautifully with Tailwind CSS.
In case you’re no fan of Tailwind, don’t let the “with Tailwind CSS” part in that slogan put you off, as these components are bare bones: you can style them anyhow you want.
In the video below Robin Malfait from Tailwind Labs himself walks us through it all (starting at 40:50):
Ace talk, Robin! Insightful, good build-up, and very smooth!
The new responsive: Web design in a component-driven world
In this session from Google I/O 2021, Una Kravets talks about “the new responsive”, short for being responsive to the user, container, and form-factor (text-version available via link below):
The web community is entering into a new era of responsive design and shifting our perspectives on what it means. With user preference queries, container queries, and other form-factor queries on the horizon, we’ll soon have the tools to create responsive designs far beyond what querying the global viewport allows.
To me, this post is the perfect successor to A List Apart’s A Dao of Web Design and Responsive Web Design. The timing is only off by one year …
Not to put any pressure on the author of @alistapart’s upcoming Spring 2020 feature, but I know a trend when I see one:
– April 2000: A Dao of Web Design
– May 2010: Responsive Web Design
– June 2020: …🤪

Dissecting the CSS font shorthand
Mateusz Hadryś dissects the font shorthand
The font shorthand allows you to set almost all font-related properties with a single line of CSS.
Reset React Native Cache (Watchman Cache, Bundler Cache, Build Artifacts, etc) with react-native-clean-project
I used to drag a little shell script around between each React Native project that cleaned out various cache directories (Watchman Cache, Bundler Cache, Build Artifacts, Yarn Cache, etc.) for me. A better alternative is the react-native-clean-project you can use.
Cleans your React Native project by purging caches and modules, and reinstalling them again.
Installation per NPM/Yarn:
yarn add -D react-native-clean-projectOnce installed it’s recommended to add these script to your package.json
{
"scripts": {
"clean": "react-native clean-project",
"clean:auto": "react-native clean-project-auto"
}
}Now simply run yarn clean whenever you need to.
