MDX is a killer feature for things like blogs, slide decks and component documentation. It allows you to write Markdown without worrying about HTML elements, their formatting and placement while sprinkling in the magic of custom React components when necessary.

Let’s harness that magic and look at how we can customize MDX by replacing Markdown elements with our own MDX components. In the process, we’ll introduce the concept of “shortcodes” when using those components.

As a heads up, the code … Read article “Working With MDX Custom Elements and Shortcodes”

The accessibility trick is using <input type="range"> and wrestling it into shape with CSS rather than giving up and re-building it with divs or whatever and later forget about accessibility.

The most clever example uses an angled linear-gradient background making the input look like a volume slider where left = low and right = high.

It’s probably one part coronavirus, one part new-fancy-video setup, and one part “hey this is good for CodePen too,” but I’ve been doing more videos lately. It’s nice to be back in the swing of that for a minute. There’s something fun about coming back to an old familiar workflow.

Where do the videos get published? I’m a publish-on-your-own site kinda guy, as I’m sure you know, so there is a whole Videos section of this site where every … Read article “I’m getting back to making videos”

Compared to the past, modern browsers have become really efficient at rendering the tangled web of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code a typical webpage provides. It takes a mere milliseconds to render the code we give it into something people can use.

What could we, as front-end developers, do to actually help the browser be even faster at rendering? There are the usual best practices that are so easy to forget with our modern tooling — especially in cases where … Read article “Let’s Take a Deep Dive Into the CSS Contain Property”

This is another player in the game of rendering the page of the link that you’re about to click on before you click it. It’s like getting a decent performance boost for extremely little effort.

Instant.page is another one, and I’ve been sufficiently convinced by its methodology to the extent that I run it here on this site right now. I don’t really know the difference between the two. And they aren’t the only players either. Google has quicklink and … Read article “prerender.js”

I re-learned an old design lesson from the humble toilet flusher. As new features are added to existing technologies, careful design is required to make their usage clear.

A key part of my job for the past year has been contributing to design systems. To benefit from those contributions though, users need to be able to find them. That’s why it’s not only the content of a design system that’s important but also its usability. Design systems should be easy to navigate, especially […]

If you’ve ever had to review a PR where the only code change is adding a wrapper element, you’ll be familiar with the pain of reviewing what appears to be a massive change but is actually trivial.

In The Design Systems We Swim In, Ethan Marcotte asked a thoughtful question about design systems: Does the system you work with allow you to control the process of your work, to make situational decisions? Or is it simply a set of rules you have to follow? Ethan makes the case that many design systems […]

The revised terms for the new academic year 2019-20 issued by Goa University on May 5 will also be applicable for the bachelor of education, bachelor of physical education, bachelor of performing art, bachelor of social work, master of education and master of performing art programmes.

To ensure social distancing during the Class X and XII public exams, the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education on Thursday said there will be only12 students in each exam hall as against the earlier 25. This has led to an increase in the number of exam sub-centres.

A senior resident attached to the radiology department of Goa Medical College (GMC) and hospital, Bambolim, was placed under suspension pending inquiry for alleged negligence. The doctor was allegedly absent from duty when former MLA Jitendra Deshprabhu was brought to GMC in a critical state on April 21.

Congress on Friday demanded an independent inquiry, headed by a retired high court judge, into the death of two-time MLA Jitendra Deshprabhu. State Congress president Girish Chodankar alleged that Deshprabhu died due to the negligence of Goa Medical College authorities.

Enraged over unbridled mining transportation through the village, a group of locals from Capxem, near Sanvordem, marched to the local office of a major mining firm and demanded an explanation over the steep rise in the movement of mining trucks from its mine along the Kalay–Cuddegal–Sanvordem–Capxem route.

Today marks ten years since the publication of HTML5 For Web Designers, the very first book from A Book Apart.

I’m so proud of that book, and so honoured that I was the first author published by the web’s finest purveyors of brief books. I mean, just look at the calibre of their output since my stumbling start!

Here’s what I wrote ten years ago.

Here’s what Jason wrote ten years ago.

Here’s what Mandy wrote ten years ago.

Here’s what Jeffrey wrote ten years ago.

They started something magnificent. Ten years on, with Katel at the helm, it’s going from strength to strength.

Happy birthday, little book! And happy birthday, A Book Apart! Here’s to another decade!
