Inclusive glasses frames
I've always struggled to find glasses or sunglasses that fit my weird head, so I was intrigued by a company explicitly targeting body shapes that aren't well catered for. Unfortunately, the selection […]

Making a digital shoebox
Henrique has added a "shoebox" section to their site; a kind of miscellaneous category to shove all of the articles, side projects, archives, and other assorted "extras" that you might want to use […]
Using CSS transitions on auto dimensions
A selection of possible workarounds for animating CSS values with auto keywords (e.g. height, width, etc.). Not a huge fan of the Flexbox option, but the max-height trick is a very useful one to […]
Accessibility, data visualisations, & the Norwegian 2023 election
An excellent write-up of where election maps, result graphs, and other common data visualisations used in election reporting most commonly fall down. Missing descriptive text, unassociated labels, […]
Lost in translation
A wonderful talk from Manuel on the hidden complexities of HTML. There's a huge amount of interesting stuff going on here in terms of writing accessible, semantic websites, but I particularly liked […]
Terrain maps
A website for exporting real-world terrain maps; extremely niche, but also extremely useful if […]
What the heck, z-index?
The best overview of z-index and stacking contexts that I've come across, plus it keeps getting better as Josh extends the useful tools section […]
Around the Tesla coils
The Daft Punk track Around the World performed on Tesla coils. Somehow this manages to be even more awesome than the summary, too (I still slightly think it's fake... somehow […]
Improving online readability
Where has this article been my whole life! Andy's posts are often brilliant, but this an absolute gold mine of information, from ideal character lengths to clever type-setting tricks. And I thought I […]
Multicoloured text highlighting in cSS
A clever UX idea discovered on Pink News: each paragraph of text has a different highlight colour, so as you select parts of an article to copy elsewhere it reveals the LGBTQA+ flag. They're using […]
US election through the lens of Africa
A fascinating Twitter thread detailing the 2020 US elections in the style that Western journalists report on African political stories. Really interesting to see how much the language used changes […]
Round to the nearest 0.5
I'm still chipping away at getting a review section working. Part of that has been finding a way to automate the calculation of series ratings from individual ratings. Not the hardest equation in the […]
The perfect block link solution
An interesting look at a "block links" at "card links": when you want large sections of HTML to be one big clickable link. It's a very common pattern and something I've done a lot, but […]
Living That Journal Life
I've wanted to diversify the content on here for a while and give myself the green light to write more personal stuff. To that end, I've created a new journal section. I hope people enjoy it, but that really isn't the point 😉
