Using (almost) pure CSS to make fancy scroll-driven image sequence animations
A blog post by Ryan Geyer
geyer.dev
You know those wild image sequence scroll-driven animations that Apple loves to put on their product pages? I broke down how this effect works and figured out a way to implement it with (almost) pure #CSS.
I'm really proud of this one!

Update: I love this. Potential late-breaking game of the year candidate for me.
I'm only like 20 minutes in but Skate Story ROCKS. The presentation is so polished and cool and I'm loving the vibe of it.

I would HIGHLY recommend Öoo if you're into puzzle games. It's short and sweet (took me a bit over 2 hours to finish) and has some really excellent puzzles and just generally great, simple elegant game design.

I've been all-in on hosting all of my sites on Cloudflare pages for a bit but I'm feeling a pull to switch to a Hetzner server. Not necessarily because of the outage, more that I just know this free hosting gravy train has to run out eventually and it might be fun to tinker with my own server

Whelp, I'm down for the count with Covid and going to have to isolate through Thanksgiving. Time to start hunting for some good cozy games to play with all this downtime, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was amazing for getting me through being sick last year

Okay, the sound design in ARC Raiders is absolutely incredible. The soundtrack sets the vibe perfectly and the sounds of robots in the distance add so much tension, it's awesome. What a cool game. Stuff like this isn't normally my speed and boy do I suck at it so far, but I want to stick with it.

Finally thought of a name I like for an HTML templating library I've been kicking around... Aaaand it's taken. That's okay, I had a backup variation on that name that I liked too... Also taken. Both dead packages that haven't been updated in over a decade. Back to the drawing board

I wish more music artists let you directly buy downloadable mp3s you can own instead of everything being locked behind streaming services. I understand the concern is piracy but is Spotify paying you a fraction of a fraction of a cent per stream that far from just being corporate piracy?

My main takeaway from this video is we need to go back to when sports teams were called The Boston Beaneaters and people were named B.S. Muckenfuss

Working on a problem that would be beautifully solved by the moveBefore API which allows you to atomically move an element to a new parent while keeping its internal state the same (ie, a <video> element can retain its playback state instead of resetting).

The reddit impulse to pile onto a post with a silly typo in the title and make nothing but jokes without ever actually helping the person who asked the question is so annoying

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.
So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

The Pixel feature where you can make unknown callers talk to an AI screener is nice in theory, but any time a real person actually did call me you could tell the experience was really weird and disorienting for them and it just feels kinda rude to make people go through it. I'm turning it off.

We should all try to build websites that make other web devs say, "I had to open this site in the inspector to see what's going on [complimentary]", not "I had to open this site in the inspector to see what's going on [derogatory]"

I'm experimenting with adding search to a static site by loading in a static read-only sqlite db file with wasm and querying it in the browser. I only pull everything down when you start typing in the search bar but it still requires pulling down almost 1.4MB. Probably more cool than practical.

An auto-generated TypeDoc site is 👏 NOT 👏 SUFFICIENT 👏 DOCUMENTATION. Trying to use a library right now and they don't even have a single example of usage documented literally anywhere, it is infuriating. I'm glad I can see all of the types though, thanks.

my toxic take is that i think this word is unserious and goofy, a signal of a certain kind of genx/elder millennial personality that also brought us “awesomesauce” which is seemingly harmless but is certainly not easy to be around
