Here you can read 'bout my questionable opinions on anything dev-related or just nice tips/hacks I enjoy having in my utility belt.

snippet #5 - csp hashing

13 Jan 2021 snippetjavascript

Another quick one - if you've ever wanted to add a short inline snippet to a site that's properly locked down with Content Security Policies, then you can add '<hash-algorithm>-<base64-value>' to your CSP to whitelist it.
vue html variables

15 Nov 2020 tilvue

Let's see how you can cut down on TLS handshake times by understanding how we can leverage vue-cli's environment variables in our index.html file.
inline event handlers

18 May 2020 til

I recently realised that an HTML event handler has access to the DOM node via this in its inline event handlers. That means you could do silly things like
spice up your gists

A friend of mine recently asked if they can upload an image to a gist. Not only will we walk through how to do that, but I'll also show you how you can display a preview image of your gist!
emoji icon set

10 May 2020 snippetcss

Before emojis, we had emoticons (dating back all the way to 1881). Then kaomojis took over our forums and online communities. Now, as 92% of all people online use emojis, they're also becoming more and more common in web design trends.
increment a date in javascript

04 Apr 2020 javascript

Another quickie. Sometimes you want to increment a date without having to pull in the monster that is moment.js, date-fns or even the tiny day.js. Maybe you're restricted by your environment. Whatever the reason, it never hurts to know your way around some native APIs.
stack css transforms

04 Apr 2020 css

This is something simple but it blew my mind when I discovered it. You can stack CSS transforms for the same direction and all of them get applied 🤯
fuzzy svg filters

17 Feb 2020 snippetcsssvg

This is another quick one. I'll share a reusable SVG filter, since a couple of you have asked about how I've achieved the fuzzy hover effect that you can see when you hover the social icons in the bottom right corner (sorry mobile users 🤷‍♀️).
do your pixels justice

16 Feb 2020 snippetcss

This is a quick one. A small CSS rule that will come in super handy when you need to blow up a pixel image (QR code is an excellent example of this) or you don't know in what size it'll be displayed.
javascript bookmarklets

16 Feb 2020 javascript

Here's something novel: using JavaScript bookmarklets to enhance your web experience. Since a bookmark follows the spec of an HTML anchor element's href attribute, then you can execute inline JavaScript in it, same as you could write:
snippet #4 - chainable classList

10 Nov 2019 snippetjavascript

Let's keep this one short:
snippet #3 - chainable logger

08 Nov 2019 snippetjavascript

As functional programming becomes more popular in the JavaScript realm, so do Higher-Order Functions and us constantly depending on .filter(), .map(), .forEach(), and friends to modify our data.
snippet #2 - wait

08 Nov 2019 snippetjavascript

One of the first things I do for new projects is to copy over some common utility files, to keep in my handy src/utils/ belt. Today, let's explore a member of that family - wait.js
snippet #1 - vue logger

giving this another go

06 Oct 2019 learning

Taking a chapter from the book of Max Böck, I've decided (yet again; this time after a 2 year break) to give this whole writing show another go (maybe it'll go easier with rhyming involved).
appending lines to XML

testing typography styles

24 Jun 2017 css

Every now and then, a blog will come across a need to quote someone or maybe display a code snippet or two. Markdown, being the solid fella that it is, takes care of generating the markup for us. But it's up to us to also carry that semantic meaning over to the end user through visual means.
