CSS, since its version 2.1, offers a relatively unknown counter system due to an old incompatibility on IE. Some of you will probably defend the following position: CSS is not made for that, you have to use JavaScript. So be it! But know that it exists, and discover how to use it. Small introduction!

It is not always easy to collect all of your users’ needs, especially when you are not necessarily familiar with the context of use or the field in which they work. That’s why we created this downloadable and printable canvas to help you collect needs.

When you need to work on interfaces, color contrast is a real thing you have to take into account to make it accessible. You have the right to be afraid of losing part of the aesthetics of your beautifully well designed interface, and you are right if you are used to poor contrast ratio. Accessibility comes with its constraint, but not much more than UX (User Experience) Design.

Not so long ago I saw one of the developers I work with writing a very complex function to allow a smooth scrolling to a lower element on the page. I was quite surprised that he doesn’t use scrollIntoView() and his behavior parameter and its smooth value. Did you heard of it?

UX / UI, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Accessibility and a lot of pixels and animations on this selection. Learn Grid Layout while having fun, discover more on CSS Variables or Font Variable. I also have a selection of digital artist to make this selection not only technical. Have fun!

Long time no see. This selection offers a lot of Design resources to help you build ideation session, test interface during user testing sessions or exploit your user biaises to build better products. Alongside those resources, development tools, articles and tutorial will help you with new CSS and JS stuff. Also, I need you help at the end of the article :p

I keep writing this little series of Did You Know articles about specific little parts of the CSS, HTML or JavaScript. One little thing to learn, easy to digest and use in your dailywork. Last time it was about Lists and specific attributes like start, reversed and type for ul and ol elements. This time, let’s dive into defaultValue in JS.

Flexbox.ninja is a project I started a few years ago and that I had never taken the time to finish and publish. I wanted to propose at least 6 common use cases, but the web people suggested that I publish it with 3 cases and open it to contributions. That’s done, now let’s look at it in more detail.

When it comes the time to write rich copyrighting, you would love to know more about HTML5 attributes and rules to write accessible and efficient contents. Did you know that Ordered List (ol element) allows you to tweak some default values thanks to HTML attributes? Let’s find out how.

This selection is the 42th in French, but I translated only some of them in english. I’ll bring to you the previous ones bit by bit I promise. Find a list of curated resources from the web. Those links come from my daily posts on Twitter. Come to say hello!

For more than one year now, UX and UI have occupied a major part of my daily work-life. My background as front-end developer has been used almost exclusively to communicate my recommendations for micro-interaction, and to increase the skills of some of the teams. A little retrospective with this list of tools that I’ve used for some of those or that I discovered during my research for the others.

Some time ago, when I was doing research on customizable CSS radio buttons and checkboxes, I had in mind to do the same thing with the “file” form input. So I did a test in pure CSS. Then I left the idea aside.

Recently in a small project, I had to build something quickly, like a prototype, which contains some little things like a sticky menu, a scroll-spy, mixed with a smooth-scrolling behavior. Some features that often ask to spend time on JavaScript coding. Well, not this time.

When you need to get back your safety and the control on your files and your datas, mostly when you have to share them on a network or with your friends/colleagues Encrypto by MacPaw is a really fresh breath in the world of encryption tools, for Mac & Windows!

In the past, I worked on several projects looking for a way to deal with custom styles proposed by some good designers to change the aspect like border color, check icon, animation, of form controls like checkbox, radio, file input, etc. As you may know, these elements are historically not style-able for accessibility reasons. (as I’ve heard). Still. I have a way to code custom accessible checkboxes and radio buttons for all devices. Ready?

You certainly already met those buttons to “Copy into Clipboard”. They usually use a trick made with Flash to overcome a security feature provided by our web browsers? Avec the evolution of JS API and the listening of developer requests, you can now (since some months) do it with JavaScript natively.

You certainly know that weird feature on your smartphone that blocks your actions during a little delay (350ms) when you tap an item on your screen? Some JS scripts can be implemented to avoid that delay, but often without any side effect… Today, it’s possible to do it with only CSS!

The Vintage Washed effect is actually fashionable. The “users” of this effect are looking for an old aspect, they want to give to their photographies a kind of history by giving them an aged appearance, some people talks about an “authentic” appearance. Let see how to reproduce that effect with CSS.
