A rather geeky/technical weblog, est. 2001, by Bramus
Recently built a demo that demonstrated a specific animation. Only problem: if you missed it, you had no way of restarting it. Instead of forcing the visitor to reload the page, this little JavaScript-snippet – attached to a button click – did the trick: const restartAnimations = ($el) => { $el.getAnimations().forEach((anim) => { anim.cancel(); anim.play(); …

The past few months Rodrigo Pombo has been working on Code Hike, a new way to write code walkthroughs for blogs or docs. Recently he shared this preview of the step scroller (“scrollycoding”) component. Looks great! Scrollycoding Demo →

Remember those really nice screenshots of code, generated with Carbon? Polacode is an extension for Visual Studio Code that offers (somewhat) the same functionality directly inside the IDE. Polacode – Polaroid for your Code →
