Screenshot of an excerpt from Jeremy Keith's blog post "Simplify."

The section shown highlights a CSS challenge proposed by Ana Tudor.
The text reads: "You have a section with a <p> on the left & an <img> on the right. How do you make the <img> height always be determined by the <p> with the tiniest bit of CSS? 😼 No changing the HTML structure in any way, no pseudos, no background declarations, no JS. Just a tiny bit of #CSS."

Keith then introduces the solution: "Old me would’ve said it can’t be done. But with a little bit of investigating, I found a nice straightforward solution:" followed by a CSS code block:

```
section > img {
contain: size;
place-self: stretch;
object-fit: cover;
}
```

This snippet demonstrates modern CSS features for dynamic image sizing based on sibling elements, a theme consistent with the blog post's focus on simplifying complex layouts with new CSS capabilities.

Screenshot of closing passage in the linked article:

“(…) Worst of all, we’ve spent the last fifteen years teaching users that if they want a good experience on their mobile device, they should look in an app store, not on the web.

Ask anyone about their experience of using websites on their mobile device. They’ll tell you plenty of stories of how badly it sucks.

It doesn’t matter that the web is the perfect medium for just-in-time delivery of information. It doesn’t matter that web browsers can now do just about everything that native apps can do.

In many ways, I wish this were a technical problem. At least then we could lobby for some technical advancement that would fix this situation.

But this is not a technical problem. This is a people problem. Specifically, the people who make websites.

We fucked up. Badly. And I don’t see any signs that things are going to change anytime soon.

But hey, websites on desktop are just great!”

 iOS 26 Liquid Glass.

An iOS home screen showcasing the "Liquid Glass" design language. The background is a soft purple-red gradient. In the upper half, a wide horizontal widget titled "Odder JUL 2018 TRIP" displays a blurred image, rendered in the translucent teal-blue glass style. Below it, several rows of app icons like LinkedIn, a butterfly icon, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud are all depicted in the translucent teal-blue glass. A square widget labeled "Tomorrow Ideal Bar m/ Frit Løb" is on the left. The dock at the bottom contains Phone, Messages, Clock, and App Library icons, also in the "Liquid Glass" style. The time "18.21" and battery status are at the top.

A screenshot of an iOS home screen in the "Liquid Glass" style. The background features a soft purple and red gradient. At the top, app icons for a checklist, a checkmark, Notion, and a snail icon are rendered in translucent teal-blue glass, some with notification badges. A large horizontal widget in the center displays "Thursday, September 18" and event details from "20.00 - 23.30," presented in the same glass-like aesthetic. Two smaller square widgets with hand icons and a larger "Inbox" widget with four listed items are also in the translucent teal-blue glass style. The bottom dock shows Phone, Messages, Clock, and App Library icons in "Liquid Glass." The time "18.21" and battery status are visible at the top.

A screenshot of the iOS App Library, styled with the "Liquid Glass" design. A search bar for "App Library" is at the top. Below it, app categories like "Suggestions" (containing icons like a kettlebell, a phone, and a cup), "Recently Added" (with icons like a rocket and Etsy), "Social" (including TikTok, LinkedIn, and a butterfly icon), "Productivity & Finance" (with a mail icon, Nordea, and Lunar), "Utilities" (with a lion icon and a compass), and "Creativity" (with a camera icon and a flower) are shown. All app icons and category folders are rendered in the translucent teal-blue glass style against a purple-red gradient background. The dock at the bottom displays Phone, Messages, Clock, and App Library icons in "Liquid Glass." The time "18.21" and battery status are visible at the top.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […]

Is Instagram super buggy for anyone else lately? (iOS)

Degrading by the day, it seems - tons of actions, buttons, entire features (*scheduled content*, cough) just.. not doing anything 🙃

No dice trying stuff via Meta’s biz tools (content planner, etc.) either.

software is hard yo! 😅

🪄 Really neat trick for docs/demo pages. You can add `display: block` to `script` and `style` and show folk the actual, literal code you’re running. It’s what I do with Obs.js:

Screenshot of browser DevTools showing how adding `display: block` and some other cosmetic properties can not only make active <script>s visible, but actually become part of the documentation themselves.

I never tire of @ia.net’s design ethos and product prezi

@writer.ia.net diehard since 2010 — and Presenter is right up that alley 🫡

Comparison of iA Presenter and Apple Keynote. Top row shows iA Presenter: simple black and white editor with script-first workflow, no design distractions, and neutral white default theme that can be adjusted later. Bottom row shows Keynote: interface for choosing colorful templates before writing content, described as backwards and distracting. Even the simplest Keynote template (black and white) often causes issues when switching themes, leading to broken layouts and wasted time fixing slides. The contrast highlights iA Presenter’s focus-first approach versus Keynote’s design-first setup.

fuck i (still) love hill charts

easily one of the most mind-altering concepts I've picked up along the way

A partial screenshot of the Basecamp project management application, showing the "Hill Chart Progress" screen. The main content area displays two versions of a Hill Chart, posted by a user.

The top chart, labeled "TODAY," shows a curve shaped like a hill. The uphill slope on the left is titled "FIGURING THINGS OUT," and the downhill slope on the right is "MAKING IT HAPPEN." Several colored dots are placed along this curve, each representing a task. Their position indicates their current status in the project lifecycle, moving from the initial planning phase to active implementation. A button labeled "Update the Hill Chart" is visible at the top left.
