Fun Fact about HTML: π
Did you know that the infamous <blink> tag was once a real part of HTML? Introduced by Netscape in the 1990s, it made text on a webpage flash on and off uncontrollably. Although wildly popular (or notorious!) at the time, it became a symbol of poor web design and accessibility issues. The tag was never officially part of the HTML standard and is deprecateded**, but its legacy lives on as a nostalgic reminder of the early, wild-west days of the web. Modern CSS can replicate the effect, but developers are strongly advised *not to blink*... for everyone's sanity. π
Bonus: The equally cringey <marquee> tag (scrolling text) also exists in browser memory but meets the same deprecated fate. Thank goodness for CSS animations! π¬

Chrisβ Corner: Creative Coding
Jake thinks developers should embrace creative coding again, which, ya know, itβs hard to disagree with from my desk at what often feels like creative coding headquarters. Why tho? From Jakeβs perspective itβs about exposure.
While many designers and developers have been working within familiar constraints, browsers have undergone a quiet revolution. The web now supports features like container queries, advanced scoping and inheritance, and responsiveness to user preference. Itβs gotten much more sophisticated in terms of color, typography, dynamic units, layouts, and animation. Yet so many young designers and developers I talk to as a Developer Advocate at Figma arenβt aware of these possibilities
Creative coding can be coding under whatever constraints you feel like applying, not what your job requires, which might just broaden your horizons. And with a twist of irony make you better at that job.
If you think of creative coding as whirls, swirls, bleeps, bloops, and monkeys in sunglasses and none of that does anything for you, you might need a horizon widening to get started. I think Daveβs recent journey of poking at his code editor to make this less annoying absolutely qualifies as creative (group) coding. It went as far as turning the five characters βthis.β into a glyph in a programming font to reduce the size, since it was so incredibly repetitive in the world of Web Components.
How about some other creative ideas that arenβt necessarily making art, but are flexing the creative mind anyway.
What if you wanted every βAβ character automatically 2β the size of every other character wherever it shows up? That would be weird. I canβt think of an amazing use case off the top of my head, but the web is big place and you never know. Terence Eden actually played with this though, not with the βAβ character, but βAny Emojiβ. Itβs a nice little trick, incorporating a custom
Adam covered a bit of a classic CSS trick the other day, when when you hover over an element, all the elements fade out except the one youβre on. The usage of

@font-face font that only matches a subset of characters (the emojis) via a unicode-range property, then uses size-adjust to boost them up. Just include the font in the used stack and it works!

The usage of
@media (hover) is funky looking to me, but itβs a nice touch, ensuring the effect only happens on devices that actually have βnormalβ hover states as it were. Again thatβs the kind of creative coding that leads fairly directly into everyday useful concepts.OK last one. Maybe channel some creative coding into making your RSS feed look cool?
