• Counting the days

  March 29, 2021

  For today's post I wanted to figure out how to count the number of days between when I started the 100 Days of Code challenge and the current day. It was a bit tricky at first, but MDN and StackOverflow had some good info that I was able to wrap my head around. I'm almost half way there!

• Getting the hang of emoji

  March 28, 2021

  There is no way I will ever run out of things to learn about web development. I can't recall ever using emoji on a website, so I thought I'd learn how to do so today. It turns out to be quite easy and I'm looking forward to using it more in the future.

• Styling a newsletter signup

  March 27, 2021

  I have a grand vision for a newsletter signup that subtley or audaciously animates as the user fills out their email form and then clicks on the sign up button that becomes enabled once their email is validated. Today's test build is a decent starting point.

• Swiping Cards

  March 26, 2021

  I didn't quite get to the point I wanted to with today's post. I'll have to tackle this another day, but I like the concept of swiping through a stack of cards. Though it may have few uses, I think it might be a fun way to display information on certain types of webpages, or it may even be useful in a game.

• No Frills Card

  March 25, 2021

  Kept it simple with today's post after spending a few hours working throught my current track on Treehouse. I don't work much with cards, so I thought I'd get some practice in.

• Working more with loading JSON

  March 24, 2021

  I wanted to try building another layout for the data that I loaded in my Final Fetch post I did on the seventh day of this challenge. I learned how to reverse order list elements and tried out flex box's reversing as well.

• CSS Only Tooltip

  March 23, 2021

  Tooltips can be pretty handy and I've never given making my own a try. I tend to stick with the title attribute on elements and have never tried to build my own tooltips. I still need to tweak and improve the fade-out animation.

• 100 Days of Code - Week 6

  March 22, 2021

  This week I tried recreating some neat link styles I saw on the Field Notes website, tried out Josh Comeau’s full-bleed grid tutorial, did a quick refresher on variable fonts, and tried out a few other things with CSS, SVG, and JavaScript.

• Improving my Background Color Changer

  March 22, 2021

  I added some simple checks to the input fields on yesterday's Simple Background Color Changer and made some tweaks that I hope help on a mobile screen size. I should make it shift focus back to the element that changes once the functions have completed.

• Simple Background Color Changer

  March 21, 2021

  After trying to figure out if it was possible to extract and display an image's metadata in the browser with only JavaScript, I discovered it wasn't as easy as I hoped. So I built this instead. It's nothing special, just extra practice extracted values from inputs and concatenating them into something usable. I didn't do any checks on the values entered, but it won't work properly unless hex color values are used.
