Hello Reader,

Another shorter email than usual this week. We’ll be back to the regular ones starting next week 🙂.

🙋‍♂️ What I’ve been up to this week

Create a fun, quick text flip effect

video preview

Not sure about the name and thumbnail that I made for this one, as the text doesn’t flip, so much as, slide in and out.

I don’t know what else to call this effect, or how to make a good thumbnail to illustrate what's going on, so this is it 😆.

I took a bit of a different approach with this one, exploring the different attempts I took to create the effect and the issues that came up with each of those attempts before finally finding a solution that worked exactly how I wanted it to (and if you only want the final result, there are timestamps in the description so you can quickly jump to it).

🔌 Shameless plug

Since I don’t have any general musings this week, how about a shameless plug for Flexbox Simplified?

It’s a 4-hour long, hands on course, exploring everything you’d ever want to know about Flexbox. We build out a bunch of different things with it to reinforce what we’re learning, and also cover reuseable layout patterns that you can bring into your projects as well.

If that sounds good, you can head over to flexboxsimplified.com for more information or jump right in and enroll.

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Yup, you read that right, I'm hosting a totally free CSS Grid workshop this week! You can scroll down a bit if you're interested in that, but first I want to talk a bit about one of my goals with my second channel. One of my favourite things to do there is to have conversations with other people, and while I have had a few in the past, most episodes are just me rambling about things. I've finally reached out to some...

For those who don't know, Interop is an initiative to ensure that all browsers properly implement features outlined in the web specifications, which means not only do they support those features, but they are bug-free. You can learn more about it here, and if you would like to propose a feature, I'd suggest you read this guide first. Hello Reader, Working from home has a lot of...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, With summer winding down, I'm winding my own things back up a bit, with this newsletter returning to having a bit of a random ramble at the start, and most of the content I put out on a regular basis back up and running as well. The crazy thing with the summer winding down is that it once again reinforces how fast time is flying by. Every time I blink, it feels like 3 months have passed. And speaking of time flying,...
