Building a Responsive Image

Wouldn't it be awesome if images intelligently resized, reshaped, and reformed themselves on the web? They would be truly responsive without any clever image-swapping trickery. Nils Binder has found a way, and his detailed step-by-step guide to delivering a fully responsive image is a must-read for every web professional.

Keyframes App

It's safe to say that CSS animation is among the smoothest motion on the web. With browsers optimized to run it, it's difficult to beat. But complex animations can be a nightmare of spaghetti code. Keyframes.app is an incredible tool that allows you to visually design CSS animations and then output the resulting code, all for free.

Flexy is lightweight, enables fluid columns, is fully responsive, and can be set up with any CSS unit you prefer. If you hand-code sites, Flexy may be the Flexbox framework you've been dreaming of.

The Trap of Design Onanism

According to designer Nick Stamas, Onanism is the state of appearing to be championing a better experience for the user, while actually taking decisions in the primary interests of the designer. It's the process of design for design's sake; adding a cool feature just because it's cool. It's a seductive but fruitless approach to avoid.

Prosper App

If you know your stuff, but struggle to communicate it, you could be missing out on life opportunities. Prosper is an amazing app that will teach you to be your best self in person-to-person assessments.
