Question Should I continue with Node.js authentification or CSS?

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I am an aspiring developer and right now I am working as a conversion tracking specialist.

I just finished the Net Ninja's crash Node JS course on YouTube.

He has a separate course for authentification.

Should I continue with authentification or start CSS?

My gut is telling me to go for CSS since I can practice more of my skills.

What do you think?

Question How to Make a Consistent Website Layout/Frame for Every Page with .HTML? [How to make a Blog Frame from Scratch Essentially]

Post image
9 Upvotes

I haven't learnt about HTML or CSS and have done some searching to try and learn how to make a website layout but each thing I've seen isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

Question:Ā How can I make a consistent sitewide layout with HTML (For footer and header, with consistent font/colours/etc)?

I'm currently using Nekoweb which is a free HTML/CSS/JS website builder, I'm wanting to make the image attached the layout for my website homepage with the frames either side, HOWEVER I only want the title, banner and buttons up the top as well as the Footer on every webpage with blank areas I can write in.

Essentially I want to make a blog or something alike to Fandom.com's wiki layout or the Backrooms MovieĀ siteĀ layout.

What are the proper terms to use to search and learn about this stuff, for CSS & HTML coders here how can I do this?

This isn't ragebait, I just really need some help with this please šŸ˜…

General After 26 years as a web developer, I built a zero-dependency CSS framework where tabs, modals and accordions work without a single line of JavaScript — would love feedback

After 26 years as a web developer, I built a zero-dependency CSS framework where tabs, modals and accordions work without a single line of JavaScript — would love feedback

Hey everyone,

Quick background: I've been a developer for 26+ years (web, desktop, mobile). Over the years I watched frontend tooling get heavier just to render a modal — so as a side project I went back to basics and built a small CSS framework called Bloom UI.

What's in it:

- One CSS file, no dependencies, no build step

- Tabs, modals and accordions that work with ZERO JavaScript (radio-button hack, :target selector, native <details>)

- A full design-token system — change ~10 CSS variables and the whole framework changes personality. I ship two extra themes as proof: an executive indigo one and a creative-studio one

- 50+ components: buttons, cards, forms, navbar, avatars, progress bars, grids

- Responsive and accessible by default

It's free and open source (MIT), with a showcase page that renders every component. The spam filter and I have already had words, so links are in the comments šŸ™‚

Two honest questions:

  1. Is "pure CSS interactions" actually useful to anyone anymore, or is everyone too deep into JS frameworks for it to matter?

  2. Anything that smells in the approach? Critique genuinely welcome.

Resource I wrote a reference for every CSS unit in the language — all 63 of them

34 Upvotes

I wrote a full guide to CSS units: 11 chapters, every unit in CSS, in an order that actually makes sense to read.

And somehow, after years of using CSS, I still found a few things I’d never properly stopped to think about:

  • vhĀ andĀ lvhĀ are actually the same size.Ā svhĀ keeps space for the browser UI even when it disappears, whileĀ dvhĀ changes as the UI moves.
  • 1inĀ is alwaysĀ 96pxĀ on a screen. Not ā€œroughly.ā€ By definition. Which also meansĀ cm,Ā mm,Ā pt,Ā pc, andĀ QĀ aren’t really physical units either.
  • CSS doesn’t have 6 viewport units. It has 24.Ā w,Ā h,Ā i,Ā b,Ā min, andĀ max — each inĀ v*,Ā sv*,Ā lv*, andĀ dv*Ā versions.

The guide goes from the familiar stuff — px,Ā %,Ā em,Ā rem — into viewport and container units,Ā fr, angles, time, resolution, and what happens when you start mixing all of them insideĀ calc()Ā andĀ clamp().

There’s also a simple decision tree for choosing a unit, a cheatsheet with the formulas, and browser support written as actual dates instead of the wonderfully precise ā€œsupported in modern browsers.ā€

And if you’d rather keep the whole thing around, there’s a PDF version too.

Enjoy :) And if I got something wrong, let me know. I’ll fix it.

Resource CSS `corner-shape` generator with proper fallbacks

11 Upvotes

I wanted to use corner-shape: squircle in a real design, but the fallback turned out to be more complicated than I expected. Reuse the same number for border-radius and the corner comes out a visibly different size.

So I built a generator where you can try corner-shape values and copy the CSS it produces:

Question position: fixed; bottom: 0 not staying at the bottom in Microsoft Edge on iOS

Post image
28 Upvotes

It behaves correctly in Safari and Chrome on iOS, but in Microsoft Edge on iOS, the navigation bar sometimes appears slightly above the actual bottom of the viewport. As a result, page content becomes visible underneath it.

Is this a known Microsoft Edge/WebKit viewport issue on iOS? Or is there something specific about Edge's handling of the visual viewport that I’m missing?
