Stephen and I hop on the podcast to chat about some of our recent tooling, local development, and DevOps work. A little while back, we cleaned up our entire monorepo’s circular dependency problems using Madge and elbow grease. That kind of thing usually isn’t the biggest of deals and the kind of thing a super […]

Yuan Chuan with a funny blog post opener commenting about how much they liked their friend’s photos: I was attracted by their slight blur and the subtle glowing effects, and wondered what kind of filter function was used. But then she told me it’s just because the camera lens wasn’t wiped clean. Turns out you […]

I’ve had the animation tool Rive on my list of bookmarks to check out for a while. I recently got around to making an account and giving it a shot. I was immediately interested in what the final output/export is. Because, of course, I want to know how I can use it… to connect it […]

Here’s a recent newsletter where he finds those settings and digs into them. I haven’t really messed around too […]

Robert and I jump on the podcast to have a little chat about open source generally and what we do with open source at CodePen. CodePen itself is not open source, aside from the small bits we’ve made public and the open-source things we include within it. But all Public Pens on CodePen are open […]

We’ve zoomed right into 2023, so let’s keep up the pace and talk about making the web speedy. – Chris Coyier, proffessional newsletter writer. Uhm but anyway I do have some choice web performance links I’ve been saving up for you this week though. Turns out HTML is good. Perhaps my favorite performance-related post of […]

Marie and I hop on the show to discuss our recently released Most Hearted of 2022 Pens. We only did the calculations the day before, so this is more of a first reaction than a deep dive.
