We’ve long had a feature for cleaning up the indentation of code on CodePen. The problem was it was really hard to find. It was a keyboard command mapped to Shift + Tab – and it only worked in the default key bindings, not if you had Sublime Text or Vim key bindings active. We […]

This week we’re talking about Docker. One of the reason we’re interested in Docker is because of how popular is (it’s good to keep your finger on the pulse of popular new technologies). It’s a big deal, but a surprisingly small number of people are using it. In this episode, we discuss what Docker is, […]

I tossed together a page of the Design Patterns we use here on CodePen. It uses 100% production CSS and JavaScript that the rest of the site uses, making it kind of “The Exhaust” as I talk about here, for now. I created the page for a few reasons. Primarily it exists because we’re working […]

We’ve talked about this in passing the last few weeks, but let’s just make it clear and official: we’re working with Sparkbox on a redesign of CodePen itself. We’re right in the middle of the process right now, so there isn’t a whole lot to see, except for the process itself, which we’re documenting on […]

This week Tiffany Rayside will be your guest picker! You probably recognize her from all her great work here on CodePen. Not only does she create lots of interesting and beautiful work with lots of different technologies, she’s always promoting other people’s interesting work. She’s smart, helpful, encouraging, and just a damn fine member of […]

Nick Hehr created a Chrome Extension called Resource Finder, which helps you search Bower for front end resources right from the Chrome toolbar. In the External Resources inputs we offer in the CSS and JavaScript settings area, we already support typeahead for a lot of resources (just start typing, see results). And we have big […]

Embedly is a fantastic service that helps content sites have very easy-to-use embeddable content. Paste a link to a YouTube video, get the actual YouTube video, not just a link. We’re a provider on Embedly, so this is true for CodePen now. Paste a link to a Pen, get the actual Pen, not just a […]

Christian Naths goes into detail on how it can be done on his blog. Update: blog post is down, but the plugin it was all about is GhostText. It works great, I tried it!

We’ve got a special guest this week: David Desandro. David left his job at Twitter a few years ago to found Metafizzy. We talk about his recent projects, policing licenses, leaving his safe job to start his own thing, how to deal with feature requests, handling customer support, how he uses CodePen in his business, […]
