WordPress 5.4 was released not so long ago and, along with other improvements and bug fixes, it introduced a feature called Block Variations. I had a chance to use it on one of my recent projects and am so pleasantly surprised with how smart this feature is. I actually think it hasn’t received the attention it deserves, which is why I decided to write this article.

What is a Block Variation?

Block Variations allow developers to define instances of existing … Read article “How to Use Block Variations in WordPress”

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 mentioned this the other day via Michelle Barker’s coverage, but here I’ll link to the official announcement. The main thing is that we’ll be getting gap with flexbox, which means:

.flex-parent {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
}
.flex-child {
  flex: 1;
}

That’s excellent, as putting space in between flex items has been tough in the past. We have justify-content: space-between, which is nice sometimes, but that doesn’t allow you to explicitly tell the flex container how … Read article “Chromium lands Flexbox gap”

Ganguly had earlier announced a donation of Rs 50 lakh worth rice for the sufferers of COVID-19, which has left the world in disarray.

India's cricket captain Virat Kohli and his actor wife Anusha Sharma are keeping themselves busy during lockdown by playing monopoly and by taking adorable selfies.

Cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir seems to be making most of the lockdown across the country. The lockdown across India was extended till May 3 to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and East Delhi MP Gambhir is getting to spending time with his kids at home, even though they are not letting him catch up with his sleep.

But with increased focus on social distancing and personal hygiene to contain the spread of the virus, the sport stares at a changing landscape.

One of the objectives of a value-added tax system is to simplify the administration of taxes, and this is accomplished by taxing almost everything and everyone, but allowing input tax credits (ITCs) for those who are not considered to be the final consumer of supplies. While many accounting and finance professionals understand the basic rules for claiming ITCs for GST/HST paid on property and services acquired in relation to an organization’s commercial activities, few have the time to explore some of the more complex issues associated with ITCs.

Leganes coach Javier Aguirre had said that the Spanish football season will re-start on June 20.

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.

What’s typically involved in an npm version release? How can you determine the release process for an existing project? Can project maintainers do anything to make it easier for new contributors?

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 […]

Lately I've been using variables to plan out pure CSS timelines for complex animations. I built an SVG and CSS Rube Goldberg machine to put this technique to the test!

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 […]

Faced with acute funds crunch and a 90% drop in tax mop up due to the lockdown in April, the state government has been left with no choice but to stagger payments.

The Goan Seamen Association of India on Friday met governor Satya Pal Malik over their demand of repatriating seafarers back to India.

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.

I’ve been on a few different podcasts recently.

The tenth episode of the Design Systems podcast is myself and Chris having a back-and-forth about design systems: Overcoming Entropy and Turning Chaos Into Order:

Chris and Jeremy Keith discuss imbuing teams with a shared sense of ownership of their design system, creating design systems able to address unforeseen scenarios, design ops as an essential part of an effective design system, and more.

Gerry has started a new podcast to accompany his new book, World Wide Waste. He invited me on for the first episode: ‘We’ve ruined the Web. Here’s how we fix it.’:

Welcome to World Wide Waste, a podcast about how digital is killing the planet, and what to do about it. In this session, I’m chatting with Jeremy Keith. Jeremy is a philosopher of the internet. Every time I see him speak, I’m struck by his calming presence, his brilliant mind and his deep humanity.

We talked about performance, energy consumption, and digital preservation. We agreed on a lot, but there were also points where we fundamentally disagreed. Good stuff!

If you like the sound of some Irishmen chatting on a podcast, then as well as listening to me and Gerry getting into it, you might also enjoy the episode of The Blarney Pilgrims podcast that I was on:

Jeremy Keith is the founder and keeper of thesession.org, probably the greatest irish music resource in the world. And this episode hopefully has something of the generous essence of that archive. We flow, from The North as a different planet to Galway as the centre of the ’90s slacker world. From the one-tune-a-week origin of thesession.org and managing an online community to the richness and value of constancy.

I’ve already written about how much this meant to me.

On the same topic—Irish music on the web—I made a brief appearance in the latest episode of Shannon Heaton’s Irish Music Stories, Irish Tunes in the Key of C-19:

How are traditional musicians and dancers continuing creative careers and group music events during the Covid-19 pandemic? How is social distancing affecting the jigs and reels? In this unexpected open of Season Four of Irish Music Stories, musicians from Ireland, England, Belgium, Sweden, and the U.S. address on and offline strategies… from a safe distance.
