I admit I haven’t paid much attention to webdev trends in the last decade or so, so I hadn’t heard about the whole “CSS-in-JavaScript” thing… nor about its gendered element.
That being said, suddenly the shitty fucking code in a whole bunch of websites is making a whole bunch of sense…1
Holy heck this isn’t an image. It’s an painting done entirely in CSS. And there’s more.
(These are, incidentally, designed to be viewed in Chrome. Looking at them in something else, e.g. whatever Internet Explorer is called nowadays, is interesting in the sense that it shows some of the “seams”. It’s incredible work either way.)
So browser support for these isn’t mature yet, but still. Holy crap!
So did you know you can do things like image tinting and sepia filtering with CSS alone? I did not know this! Now I do.
Also known as “the entropy of markup languages.”
(Perhaps the title is a little hyperbolic. CSS’s flaws are the flaws of any system that develops over time. The good news is they can be fixed by the same. Things like this list are the start of the process.)
Truly do we live in a wondrous age! I remember when image-based “stripe generators” were the go-to web tool when designing a site.
Aah, historic design trends. Always so cringeworthy.
Very cool web-based cloth tearing simulator.
JavaScript physics. Wow. Just… wow.
