More lunchtime #FanArt, this time for #Norco, a really unique and interesting point-and-click adventure by @geographyofrobots.bsky.social

"It’s so much fun designing experiences with newer features as soon as our audience can benefit from them." Why I Like Designing in the Browser from @tylersticka.com on @cloudfour.com cloudfour.com/thinks/why-i... #WebDesign #WebDev #FrontEnd

I’ve been designing web experiences for 20+ years. While I use and enjoy dedicated design software, I’m pretty sure I design “in the browser” more than most. Here are just a few reasons why… cloudfour.com/thinks/why-i... #WebDesign #DesignProcess #HTML #CSS

Frontend News #11 💬 Justified text with automatic hyphenation 🆕 New JavaScript moveBefore method 🧪 Testing different font combinations ➕ And more Featuring incredible work by @tylersticka.com, @bram.us, @mattzeunert.com, @nerdy.dev. youtu.be/aP5gJiUyWuY

Made some #FanArt on my lunch break. Shadow’s design has a lot of fussy little details compared to Sonic’s! #SonicTheHedgehog #ShadowTheHedgehog

If your host says they support WebP, you might want to double-check. And if you’re using Cloudflare Polish, this applies to you as well. cloudfour.com/thinks/false...

For years I’ve used a web app called Grouvee to manage my backlog of #VideoGames. This week, they invited me on their #podcast to talk about my own games, what I’m playing, best/worst controllers, and Sony’s recent State of Play: super-grouveecast.simplecast.com/episodes/at-...

Revisited #PapersPlease, still a masterpiece #FanArt

Faux Containers in CSS Grids from @tylersticka.com on @cloudfour.com cloudfour.com/thinks/faux-... #FrontEnd #WebDev #CSS #WebDesign

#CSS Grid is so fun. Here’s a simple card pattern where key elements break their container… or do they?? 🧐 cloudfour.com/thinks/faux-... #WebDesign #WebDev

Read this because @tylersticka.com's rad, but also... the Q&A format as iMessages... 😍

Am I too late for the #BlogQuestionsChallenge ?? tylersticka.com/journal/blog...

This is a great article by @tylersticka.com about using `li:has(:checked)` to elegantly style things in a list: cloudfour.com/thinks/a-con... Literally just used this on a website this week! Also, 👏 for using Blur's discography as a demo.

Replayed Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the first time in years, felt like drawing some of its cast based on their appearance back then. #FanArt #Rayman

Where we’re going, we don’t need JavaScript 😎 Tyler’s post is great example of CSS’ powerful styling engine, and demonstrates all the cornerstones of a complete visual UI treatment without scripting.

A content list pattern where any checked box initiates a “selection mode.” A sticky toolbar displays with functional actions, and every row becomes a toggle. No #JavaScript required, just (very old) #HTML and (pretty new) #CSS 😎 cloudfour.com/thinks/a-con... #WebDev

Finished playing “Sheepy: A Short Adventure” and thought I’d sketch my take on its protagonist #FanArt #SheepyAShortAdventure

The stylized models in this animated short ooze so much charm! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAvc... (Relatable, too! 😂)

An unexpected look back at last year’s personal and professional milestones: tylersticka.com/journal/2024/

Got to let off some steam last night 🤘😷 #DeathFromAbove1979 #LiveMusic #PDX

We're entering a dark period in US #accessibility. The White House home page has a bunch of links with "aria-hidden" and "tabindex=-1". This hides the links from assistive tech like screen readers & makes them unreachable with just a keyboard. Critical #WCAG compliance errors! But who can sue?

Nana, nanananana, na na na, na na nana na 🎵 (I’ve always found #KatamariDamacy surprisingly therapeutic to play) #FanArt

Pushed a couple updates to my list of favorite #VideoGames this morning: tylersticka.com/journal/favo...

Finished the 20th anniversary remaster of #BeyondGoodAndEvil, what a special game! Had to draw some #FanArt of Jade and Pey’j

This may be obvious to many #macOS users, but if your internal drive is APFS and your Time Machine drive takes *forever* to back up, double check that it isn’t still formatted as Mac OS Extended. Reformatting an older backup drive to APFS reduced my backup times from 15 hours to 15 minutes! 😮

Waited to watch the Switch 2 trailer till my gaming podcast of choice (@minnmax.bsky.social) reacted: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1l1... What little they show looks nice. My Steam Deck takes a lot of the wind out of its sails, but I’m sure some first-party release will eventually sway me.

Updated my post “Techniques to Break Words” to include the somewhat-supported `hyphenate-limit-chars` property: adrianroselli.com/2024/02/tech... Discovered via @tylersticka.com’s post on justified text: cloudfour.com/thinks/justi... #CSS
