  1. Taking a break for the same reasons as everyone else. I’m on #Mastodon: mastodon.social/@tylersticka And my personal site has RSS and JSON feeds: tylersticka.com/ Hope to see you there!
  2. Honest question for young people who interpret 👍 and ❤️ emoji as passive-aggressive: Do you avoid using those same symbols in interfaces (social/messaging app reactions, for example) where they’re a built-in option?
  3. It’s hard to believe, but @CloudFour turned fifteen years old this week! 🎂 Our co-founder @aileen_jeffries shared this fun look back at our history (I helped make the timeline) cloudfour.com/thinks/cloud-four-turns-fifteen/
  4. Web designers: “Let’s deprecate that orange button style, it doesn’t meet WCAG contrast requirements.” Print designers: “White text on light gray, let’s gooooo”
  5. He grew up too fast, what happened
    oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API
  6. It always surprises me when I see “design systems” that exist only in design files or only in front-end component libraries. It probably shouldn’t: It’s way faster to start something in a silo. But seeing design choices transcend disciplines is kind of my favorite part?
  7. I stopped designing for specific device widths about a decade ago thanks to talks and articles from @LukeW and @grigs. Maybe Apple’s iPhone 14 resolutions will inspire similar change? polypane.app/blog/thanks-i-phone-14-designing-for-device-sizes-is-dead/
  8. It’s been five years since I started using CSS Grid and I still confuse auto-fit and auto-fill 100% of the time.
  9. I had a lot of fun making the illustrations for @spaceninja’s latest @CloudFour article using CSS and 3D transforms 👀 cloudfour.com/thinks/the-power-of-css-blend-modes/
  10. Shipped some important design and dev updates to the @CloudFour site today! 🚀 cloudfour.com/thinks/2022-update/
  11. Today I learned that svg { overflow: visible } is a thing. Yowza! 🤯 (Oh yeah, the blog post is good, too) @zachleat/1553141790894596097
  12. I’ve written more than 60 articles for @CloudFour since 2013, but I’ve probably designed even more article feature images in that time. I thought it might be fun to share my five favorites (so far) in chronological order.
  13. I recently reorganized my comic books, here’s me nerding out about that: tylersticka.com/journal/organizing-comics/
  14. Made a “rubber button” for fun this morning in @CodePen using only HTML, CSS and SVG (no JavaScript). Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. codepen.io/tylersticka/pen/MWVbdzo?editors=1100
  15. I don’t have any compelling web design thoughts to share today, so here’s a photo of the puppy we adopted a few months ago. His name is Buster and he is a very good boy.

  1. Every team project I've ever felt proud of has been the result of collaborators fearlessly stretching beyond the traditional limits of their focus area. Designers who care about performance, developers who care about UX, writers who care about database architecture, etc.
  2. Just for fun, I wrote some imaginary CSS snippets! My fellow @CloudFour designers helped illustrate. Maybe these will be real someday? cloudfour.com/thinks/some-imaginary-css/
  3. Yay! My little design contribution was implemented and merged into @gulpjs CLI: github.com/gulpjs/gulp-cli/pull/50

  4. "Sure, gestures are sexy. [...] But buttons are discoverable." ignorethecode.net/blog/2012/09/02/buttons/
  5. I made this JS plugin so that @LukeW’s hide/show password pattern would be easier to add to mobile web apps: blog.cloudfour.com/hide-show-passwords-plugin/
  6. I’m honored to introduce the @Colorpeek extension for @googlechrome on one of my favorite blogs, @Real_CSS_Tricks: css-tricks.com/colorpeek-simple-way-see-share-css-colors/
