A very beautiful place on earth: one friend who lives there enjoys road biking in the surrounding mountains. Another friend does cross-country skiing in his lunch break (in winter times).

A friend is building Jamboree[1] (prev name "Spielwerk") for iOS. An app to build and share games. They're all web based so they're easy to share.

Texaco Towers was an Apple office above a Texaco gas station: https://www.folklore.org/Texaco_Towers.html

While MP4s don't support transparency, both HEVC and VP9 do and their support is very good these days. I just recently used these formats to add a complex After Effects Animation to a website. It's a bit of extra work to encode two videos instead of just one but the result is great. I used this tutorial: https://rotato.app/blog/transparent-videos-for-the-web

Do you also cache or proxy the thumbnail? Google can also track them when hotlinking it.

If he’d run the dark mode JavaScript in the head and control the style through a css class, it would not flash.

Exceptionally quick lookups: alt + space and Dash is there with the search focused. I search and press alt + tab or esc to get back into my editor.

I recently made the leap in the opposite direction: after being asked to pay 59€ to continue using the app I downloaded Tower 2. So far I'm not missing anything they introduced since then. I'm actually happy about the old app icon.

When the warning that the license is running out popped up some time ago I expected the app to still work. Just that I won't get any new updates (like Sketch). But no: it just stops working and demands more money. Pew....

Awesome that you contributed to CSS Motion Path! Such a powerful feature :)

There are more German ones: the last one in is_child_exploitation and nazi stuff in is_hateful.

https://twitter.com/bdc was one of the first designing developers there. One of the best of his kind!

I share the love for hand-made svg. But it has its limits when graphics need complexity. In those cases I use https://github.com/RazrFalcon/svgcleaner-gui to clean up the svg file after export.

you're missing a lot if you're into web design. of course, content is king and google fucked up big times by not having a proper fallback. but that parallax scrolling is the best I've seen so far https://www.google.com/ideas/products/digital-attack-map/

It's picking up everything visible, not just images.

I developed it on a mbp 13", just not the retina version. Someone reported the bug that it doesn't work when the browser is zoomed. May that be the case for you?

I use timeEdition http://www.timeedition.com/en/features/screenshots.html. Open Source, nice and simple.

CSS3's flex attribute solves that. It's the holy grail for modern web-interface-development. Vertical center text:

.vertical-text { display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; }

(add ´align-items: center´for horizontal center)

How I hoped this to be an announcement for a public code reading. Like a author reading a chapter of his book, Jeremy reading and discussing a part of the coffeescript source.

Reminds me of Paul Bakaus' Aves Gaming Engine (also canvas based and isometric view).

He was very active documenting his research on it's performance: http://paulbakaus.com/2010/07/19/why-canvas-is-not-an-obviou...

This javascript code doesn't add any functionality to the demo, so no – this demo does not use Javascript.

why '90deg'? using no direction, and otherwise 'to bottom' etc. for the non-prefixed and 'top', 'left' etc. for the prefixed gradients seems easier to understand.

Just tried to register. Pop up appeared:

"Password must be at least 6 characters long and can only contain numbers and letters."

I'm fine with a length limitation, but limiting the character-set - WTF? Stop this right now.

Half of the CSS code is used for the demo interaction (time changing, showing the helper elements and for debugging [grouping all animated elements to change the transition-duration all at one]).

In production it would be way less complex.

This was also the inspiration. Well spotted.

It's a depth-clipping bug in chrome

yes, three times yes. nib is the most powerful css gradient shim for a css preprocessing language (in this case Stylus) that I found so far.
