Short and Sweet JavaScript One-Liners

Pure CSS way for creating album backdrops

A simple approach to creating nice backgrounds for album artwork.

Lossy CSS compression for fun and loss (or profit)

I wrote a program that takes some CSS and outputs back some other CSS that hopefully retains some (most) of the information in the input, but contains fewer rules than the original.

🧠 Fun Fact

CSS Once Had a Different Name - Before it was officially named Cascading Style Sheets, the concept of CSS was initially referred to as "Style Sheets for HTML." The term "cascading" was added to highlight its capability to allow multiple stylesheets to influence a piece of content's appearance, with an established priority scheme to resolve conflicts.

🎨 Design

Designer News is Dead

Designer News was an online community for product designers. For years it was the best forum to discuss designing software.

In Praise of Buttons

In any design discipline there are always certain trends. One of these trends seems to be that buttons are now considered uncool.
