Transition to the Other Side with Container Query Units

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

11th Oct 2025
Managing the position of an element as it travels across the length of its parent container can be tricky. Assuming they both have dynamic, responsive dimensions, we might rely on JS to check the width and/or height of each element and do some calculations for a proper end...

Blog Questions Challenge

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

25th Mar 2025
Hey there. It has been a minute since my last post. I was semi-recently tagged by Zach Leatherman to (optionally) participate in this year's Blog Questions Challenge. I had planned on doing it then. But life really hit hard as we entered this year and it has not let up. Energy...

The Pixel Canvas Shimmer Effect

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

3rd Dec 2024
I recently stumbled on a super cool, well-executed hover effect from the clerk.com website where a bloom of tiny pixels light up, their glow staggering from the center to the edges of its container. With some available free time over this Thanksgiving break, I hacked together my...

CSS @property and the New Style

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

2nd Sep 2024
The @property at-rule recently gained support across all modern browsers, unlocking the ability to explicitly define a syntax, initial value, and inheritance for CSS custom properties. It seems like forever ago that CSS Houdini and its CSS Properties and Values API were initially...

Center Items in First Row with CSS Grid

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

19th Aug 2024
Imagine the following section on a website: A collection of elements, like a series of cards with marketing information, are presented in a grid display. The elements are arranged in rows of three. When there are an odd number of elements left over, they will be center-aligned...

Notes on handling events in Web Components

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

27th Jul 2024
My click-spark web component was a fun, silly project at best. Yet I've seen it's had some love since being shared. So why not publish it as an npm package? No better time than the present, some say. I had done a major refactor before publishing, the most notable was that the...

Penguin!

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

6th May 2024
My partner and I finally finished our epic three-part claymation saga. It's our first attempt at creating stop-motion videos with clay and it truly is a lot of work for such a short result. That claymation episode of Parks and Recreation is a little too real. I won't compare our...

Detect JavaScript Support in CSS

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

20th Apr 2024
I had been aware of the scripting CSS media feature but I was still under the impression that cross-browser support was lacking. What a pleasant surprise to discover that it has been available in all modern browsers as of December 2023 according to caniuse.com. With this feature,...

Someone Great

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

13th Mar 2024
Where to start? The grief is heavy and far too real. I barely slept last night. The brain fog is thick but finding the words and placing them here may provide some catharsis. I lost someone great. Oscar was so much bigger than most folks will ever understand. His love, not just...

The Fifty-Fifty Split and Overflow

from Ryan Mulligan [alt+shift+b] in design

19th Feb 2024
The fifty-fifty split—or 50/50 for a dash of brevity—is a classic layout pattern where two elements occupy the same amount of inline space inside a row. These two elements will stack once it becomes too narrow to properly display them side by side. Both flexbox and CSS grid can...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
