Bit of a stream-of-consciousness rant, and of course there is no absolutely right or absolutely wrong answer. Different situations/products/apps could have very different “most important” metrics. But I am hoping to do create a little discussion, hear others’ input/opinions on the matter....

I just realized that I have been completely remiss in pointing out that I was recently on a Coffee with Developers podcast! On February 18, 2026, I sat down with Chrisitan Heilmann to chat about NoLoJS and lots and lots of other things. Was great to see and chat with Christian again, it has been...

If your users scale the text size in Android or iDeviceOS, that doesn’t always affect the size of text on a web page. It’s a function of browser and authored code, as opposed to a standardized approach. That may be changing. Support The current state of affairs in the three rendering...

Starting off with a little shameless self-promotion: I recently shared NoLoJS, an open-source design library of components aiming to reduce reliance on JS, in favor of just HTML and CSS, as much as possible. The idea is to create a collection of web patterns that have historically relied heavily...

Here’s a small but fun use case for CSS Anchor Positioning, using it to keep multiple labels around a progress bar readable, without touching JavaScript. The goal is simple: we have a horizontal progress bar with three labels: one on the left, one on the right, and one that should follow the...

I finally got around to converting my avatar from a raster graphic to a vector format. I wanted to be able to animate the polygons using JavaScript and CSS. Another great advantage of a vector format is how the format lends itself to generate a PNG or JPG in any size. Massaging the SVG File Format...

Simple Way to Prevent Websites Jumping from Scrollbars# 1 April 2016 CSS A common occurance I see on websites, and a frequent question I see as well regards websites “jumping” when more content loads onto the page and a scrollbar becomes visible in the browser. The solution to this is remarkably...

Whenever I mention that I don’t use CSS preprocessors I tend to get strange looks from people who cannot imagine writing CSS without Sass. And so I have to defend my choice and explain why, over and over. Some people will understand, most won’t. Or they don’t want to. But here’s an attempt to...

Most web developers currently use vendor prefixes in CSS to enable certain features in some browsers. That’s fine, but sometimes I see code examples and prefix-adding tools that go a bit overboard with the support and add every possible prefix that has ever been in use (and sometimes even ones...
