• Style Customizer Prototype

  February 23, 2021

  A while back I saw Jason Pamental show off a style customizer or accessibility panel during one of his presentations. I really liked the idea and today I gave it shot. It's not nearly complete or in its ideal form, but I'm glad I was able to get it working to some extent.

• 100 Days of Code - Week 2

  February 23, 2021

  This past week I worked with things I haven’t spent much time with before.

• Working with prefers-reduced-motion

  February 22, 2021

  Having never worked with prefers-reduce-motion before, I wanted to make sure I familiarized myself with it. That way I can make safer versions of webpages with heavily animated elements.

• Dark Mode and CSS Variables

  February 21, 2021

  I haven't done a light and dark theme with CSS variables yet, so I thought I would give it a try.

• Clamp Wrapper

  February 20, 2021

  Read about using clamp to make a more robust wrapper class and thought I'd try it out. I'm not quite sure how to provide a fallback for older browsers just yet, but I probably won't put this to use on a client's site unless I can provide one. Now will I use it on personal projects? I'll certainly consider it.

• A Quick Test of Scroll Snap

  February 19, 2021

  After doing a bit of reading and watching a video on scroll-snap, I thought I'd try it out. I'm reusing 99% of yesterday's post, but somedays that may just be how things go.

• Trying Horizontal Scrolling

  February 18, 2021

  While working on the template for my code posts, I decided to get horizontal scrolling a try. I was surprised by how easily this worked. I know it's not ideal, but it's a good first attempt.

• Learning about fluid typography and CSS clamp

  February 17, 2021

  I haven't ever worked with the CSS clamp function or the ch unit. After reading Andy Bell's tutorial mentioned inside this post, I thought I'd try them out and followed his tutorial for Fluid Typography. I've read a bit about clamp in the past and I'm excited to work with it more. Andy's article has some great resources, so be sure to check it out!

• Web Audio API Practice

  February 16, 2021

  Today I'm trying to dabble with the Web Audio API. I've worked through the Basic concepts behind Web Audio API tutorial on MDN and I'm hoping this works. I couldn't properly test locally because of the cross-origin request for the audio file was blocked. I was able to get it working on this site though, and I think it'll be fun to work more with this API in the future!

• 100 Days of Code - Week 1

  Last Tuesday I decided to start the 100 Days of Code challenge to help me get motivated to work on some personal projects.
