During the recent all-team meetup we got to into a discussion how we can improve the CodePen Post editing experience. You write in Markdown in the Post Editor, but at the moment, we weren’t providing much help for that other than some placeholder text as a light reminder of how Markdown works. As we saw […]

Show Description The whole gang is together! Last week we had a whole-team get together and we figured we’d record a podcast while all there. All of us have been on the receiving end of feature requests from our community. There are many spectrums on which to place these requests: Light – Heavy Technical Debt […]

We’re all just home from our very first all-company get together. Alex and Dee just moved into a lovely new house in St. Petersburg, Florida and it’s just big enough to smash us all in there. Savin’ bucks, y’all. That’s Brooklyn the dog with Jake. Drawing a knockout CodePen logo with chalk was harder than […]

Tim’s taking a clever approach of unlocking stretch goals with community challenges. One of those challenges is creating 8 animations of the […]

If you’re a subscriber to net magazine, in the March 2016 issue, there is a special link for a 3-month free trial of CodePen PRO! I got mine! There was even a full-page ad in there for CodePen, which was fun to design. I figured I’d use a Pen as a design element, so that’s […]

Show Description We’re joined by Sara Cope, who takes care of all swag for CodePen (in addition to CSS-Tricks, ShopTalk, her day job, and helping things just generally run more smoothly around here). Why do we have swag at all? How does it mostly get used? Where do we get it? How do we sell […]

The fun started over the weekend and is running through this Friday, […]
