Hello audience. Unfortunately, I am still on my break. However, I am happy to announce that I am still alive and kicking. In fact, I decided to make use of my unemployment and revisit HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create... A visual novel.

Good News: code is 100% reusable because I used a JSON (i do not know how that works, someone can kindly explain to me...)

Bad News: this code sucks ass, and NOTHING works except playing the story. Transitions? Doesn't work. UI/UX? Ass. Effects? Hell no... Also, 70% of the features aren't present yet I'm gonna do it later.

Oh, this is CrossDust, if you can't tell.

I'm gonna respond to asks and do requests later (After my break is over). This is just a small update teehee.

CSSWG Minutes Telecon (2024-12-04): Just Use Grid vs. Display: Masonry

CSSWG Minutes Telecon (2024-12-04): Just Use Grid vs. Display: Masonry

The CSS Working Group (CSSWG) meets weekly (or close to it) to discuss and quickly resolve issues from their GitHub that would otherwise be lost in the back-and-forth of forum conversation. While each meeting brings interesting conversation, this past Wednesday (December 4th) was special. The CSSWG met to try and finally squash a debate that has been going on for five years: whether Masonry should be a part of Grid or a separate system.

I’ll try to summarize the current state of the debate, but if you are looking for the long version, I recommend reading CSS Masonry & CSS Grid by Geoff and Choosing a Masonry Syntax in CSS by Miriam Suzanne.

In 2017, it was frequently asked whether Grid could handle masonry layouts; layouts where the columns (or the rows) could hold unevenly sized items without gaps in between. While this is just one of several possibilities with masonry, you can think about the layout popularized by Pinterest:

In 2020, Firefox released a prototype in which masonry was integrated into the CSS Grid layout module. The main voice against it was Rachel Andrew, arguing that it should be its own, separate thing. Since then, the debate has escalated with two proposals from Apple and Google, arguing for and against a grid-integrated syntax, respectively.

There were some technical worries against a grid-masonry implementation that were since resolved. What you have to know is this: right now, it’s a matter of syntax. To be specific, which syntax is

a. is easier to learn for authors and

b. how might this decision impact possible future developments in one or both models (or CSS in general).

In the middle, the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) was asked for input on the issue which has prompted an effort to unify the two proposals. Both sides have brought strong arguments to the table over a series of posts, and in the following meeting, they were asked to lay those arguments once again in a presentation, with the hope of reaching a consensus.

Remember that you can subscribe and read the full minutes on W3C.org

The Battle of PowerPoints

Alison Maher representing Google and an advocate of implementing Masonry as a new display value, opened the meeting with a presentation. The main points were:

Several properties behave differently between masonry and grid.

Better defaults when setting display: masonry, something that Rachel Andrew recently argued for.

There was an argument against display: masonry since fallbacks would be more lengthy to implement, whereas in a grid-integrated the fallback to grid is already there. Alison Maher refutes this since “needing one is a temporary problem, so [we] should focus on the future,” and that “authors should make explicit fallback, to avoid surprises.”

“Positioning in masonry is simpler than grid, it’s only placed in 1 axis instead of 2.”

Shorthands are also better: “Grid shorthand is complicated, hard to use. Masonry shorthand is easier because don’t need to remember the order.”

“Placement works differently in grid vs masonry” and “alignment is also very different”

There will be “other changes for submasonry/subgrid that will lead to divergences.”

“Integrating masonry into grid will lead to spec bloat, will be harder to teach, and lead to developer confusion.”

alisonmaher: “Conclusion: masonry should be a separate display type”

Jen Simmons, representing the WebKit team and advocate of the “Just Use Grid” approach followed with another presentation. On this side, the main points were:

Author learning could be skewed since “a new layout type creates a separate tool with separate syntax that’s similar but not the same as what exists […]. They’re familiar but not quite the same”

The Chrome proposal would add around 10 new properties. “We don’t believe there’s a compelling argument to add so many new properties to CSS.”

“Chromium argues that their new syntax is more understandable. We disagree, just use grid-auto-flow“

“When you layout rows in grid, template syntax is a bit different — you stack the template names to physically diagram the names for the rows. Just Use Grid re-uses this syntax exactly; but new masonry layout uses the column syntax for rows”

“Other difference is the auto-flow — grid’s indicates the primary fill direction, Chrome believes this doesn’t make sense and changed it to match the orientation of lines”

“Chrome argues that new display type allows better defaults — but the defaults propose aren’t good […] it doesn’t quite work as easily as claimed [see article] requires deep understanding of autosizing”

“Easier to switch, e.g. at breakpoints or progressive enhancement”

“Follows CSS design principles to re-use what already exists”

The TAG review

After two presentations with compelling arguments, Lea Verou (also a member of the TAG) followed with their input.

lea: We did a TAG review on this. My opinion is fully reflected there. I think the arguments WebKit team makes are compelling. We thought not only should masonry be part of grid, but should go further. A lot of arguments for integrating is that “grid is too hard”. In that case we should make grid things easier. Complex things are possible, but simple things are not so easy.

Big part of Google’s argument is defaults, but we could just have smarter defaults — there is precedent for this in CSS if we decided that would help ergonomics We agree that switching between grid vs. masonry is common. Grid might be a slightly better fallback than nothing, but minor argument because people can use @supports. Introducing all these new properties increasing the API surfaces that authors need to learn. Less they can port over. Even if we say we will be disciplined, experience shows that we won’t. Even if not intentional, accidental. DRY – don’t have multiple sources of truth

One of arguments against masonry in grid is that grids are 2D, but actually in graphic design grids were often 1D. I agree that most masonry use cases need simpler grids than general grid use cases, but that means we should make those grids easier to define for both grid and masonry. The more we looked into this, we realize there are 3 different layout modes that give you 2D arrangement of children. We recommended not just make masonry part of grid, but find ways of integrating what we already have better could we come up with a shorthand that sets grid-auto-flow and flex-direction, and promote that for layout direction in general? Then authors only need to learn one control for it.

The debate

All was laid out onto the table, it was only left what other members had to say.

oriol: Problem with Jen Simmons’s reasoning. She said the proposed masonry-direction property would be new syntax that doesn’t match grid-auto-flow property, but this property matches flex-direction property so instead of trying to be close to grid, tries to be close to flexbox. Closer to grid is a choice, could be consistent with different things.

astearns: One question I asked is, has anyone changed their mind on which proposal they support? I personally have. I thought that separate display property made a lot more sense, in terms of designing the feature and I was very daunted by the idea that we’d have to consider both grid and masonry for any new development in either seemed sticky to me but the TAG argument convinced me that we should do the work of integrating these things.

TabAtkins: Thanks for setting that up for me, because I’m going to refute the TAG argument! I think they’re wrong in this case. You can draw a lot of surface-level connections between Grid and Masonry, and Flexbox, and other hypothetical layouts but when you actually look at details of how they work, behaviors each one is capable of, they’re pretty distinct if you try to combine together, it would be an unholy mess of conflicting constraints — e.g. flexing in items of masonry or grid or you’d have a weird mish-mash of, “the 2D layout.

But if you call it a flex you get access to these properties, call it grid, access to these other properties concrete example, “pillar” example mentioned in webKit blog post, that wasn’t compatible with the base concepts in masonry and flex because it wants a shared block formatting context grid etc have different formatting contexts, can’t use floats.

lea: actually, the TAG argument was that layout seems to actually be a continuum, and syntax should accommodate that rather than forcing one of two extremes (current flex vs current grid).

The debate kept back and forth until there was an attempt to set a general north star to follow.

jyasskin: Wanted to emphasize a couple aspects of TAG review. It seems really nice to keep the property from Chrome proposal that you don’t have to learn both, can just learn to do masonry without learning all of Grid even if that’s in a unified system perhaps still define masonry shorthand, and have it set grid properties

jensimmons: To create a simple masonry-style layout in Grid, you just need 3 lines of code (4 with a gap). It’s quite simple.

jyasskin: Most consensus part of TAG feedback was to share properties whenever possible. Not necessary to share the same ‘display’ values; could define different ‘display’ values but share the properties. One thing we didn’t like about unified proposal was grid-auto-flow in the unified proposal, where some values were ignored. Yeah, this is the usability point I’m pounding on

Another Split Decision

Despite all, it looked like nobody was giving away, and the debate seemed stuck once again:

astearns: I’m not hearing a way forward yet. At some point, one of the camps is going to have to concede in order to move this forward.

lea: What if we do a straw poll. Not to decide, but to figure out how far are we from consensus?

The votes were cast and the results were… split.

florian: though we could still not reach consensus, I want to thank both sides for presenting clear arguments, densely packed, well delivered. I will go back to the presentations, and revisit some points, it really was informative to present the way it was.

That’s all folks, a split decision! There isn’t a preference for either of the two proposals and implementing something with such mixed opinions is something nobody would approve. After a little over five years of debate, I think this meeting is yet another good sign that a new proposal addressing the concerns of both sides should be considered, but that’s just a personal opinion. To me, masonry (or whatever name it may be) is an important step in CSS layout that may shape future layouts, it shouldn’t be rushed so until then, I am more than happy to wait for a proposal that satisfies both sides.

widowbase v3 and v4

Whooboi, there is a lot of discourse going on right now about JCINK coders. Perfect time for me to update some base skins!

For those who just want to streamline their coding process, I have updated my widowbase v3 to include a day/night theme toggle and made a few responsive tweaks to the vertical nav and sidebar. For those looking to learn how to use CSS grid and flexbox to create responsive forum designs, I added a new base, widowbase v4. This version includes some HTML templates that have a very ugly, extremely basic, but functional fluid grid layout. These templates also incorporate hidden divs (read as, display: none) that include the PHP variables frequently used inside those respective HTML templates, so you can easily delete everything I've done and start from scratch with your own. Then just delete the hidden div when you've used everything you need. Easy peasy!

For those of you just beginning your coding journey, I wish you the best of luck! It is such a fun and rewarding hobby. You are also free to rip apart any of the codes on my preview site and cobble them back together. These experiments can be a great learning tool! You are more than welcome to use any of my free resources as a base, as long as the finished product remains free. As for my actual skin bases (or template sets specifically labeled as bases), these can be used for free or paid skins. Make money or give it away, whatever works for you, just leave the credits given to resources intact so others can find out how to accomplish the same thing!

[anomalouscorvid]

how did you go about doing the navigation links on your neocities? it's really neat!

MY NEOCITIES... i really need to add more to that. every so often i remember it exists. anyway

the sidebar and main text, first of all, are two containers in the simplest possible flexbox container (the css for it just has 'display: flex' and nothing else). very useful, i love flexbox. if you haven't used it before, i'd recommend looking into it! loads of examples and guides out there. (there's also css grid, but i've never used it)

the navigation itself in the html is very simple, basically a list of links.. not actually a list, just separate 'paragraphs'. (which i have to update on every page every time i add/rename/remove another page..) additional thought: i think mayyybe if i used a flexbox container for the links themselves it'd be easier to make it so the navigation turns horizontal (and along the top) instead of vertical when the screen is small enough? or something with inline blocks maybe. i haven't gotten around to trying any of that though

back on topic, the symbol before each link and the translucent 'label' on hover is from the css, like this

so basically the 'label' sticking out is, like, an offset background? and also the current page link gets a custom class that gives it the same formatting as the hover text

i think that's everything, i'm not great at actually explaining how i did stuff so i hope this is helpful haha

5+ Innovative HTML Hover Card Designs with Dynamic Animations

In the world of web design, interactivity is key to keeping users engaged. One effective way to enhance a website’s interactivity is through the use of HTML hover card designs. These designs add dynamic animations that transform a simple user interface into an immersive experience. This article will explore several innovative HTML hover card designs that feature dynamic animations, offering users visually appealing interactions without overwhelming them with complex interactions. Let’s dive into five different hover card designs you can incorporate into your website.

What Are HTML Hover Card Designs?

The Concept of Hover Cards

An HTML hover card design is an interactive element that allows information to be revealed when a user hovers over a designated area, such as an image or text block. Hover cards typically contain images, brief text descriptions, or action buttons that appear only when the user interacts with the card. This feature is widely used in portfolios, social media, and e-commerce websites to create engaging content that draws users' attention.

Hover effects create an enhanced user experience by offering instant feedback and additional information, making web pages feel more responsive and dynamic.

Why Dynamic Animations Matter

Animations on hover make websites feel alive and responsive. By using dynamic animations in hover cards, you can encourage user interaction, keep users engaged, and direct attention to key content. For example, a hover animation might gently scale a card, reveal more information, or animate an icon to make the experience more exciting and intuitive.

1. Hovering Detail Card CSS with Smooth Transitions

One of the most common and visually appealing hover card designs involves the hovering detail card CSS effect, which includes smooth transitions. When users hover over the card, they might see a subtle change, such as a fade effect or the card expanding slightly. This effect is designed to catch the user's attention, providing a more immersive experience by revealing extra content like text, images, or social media buttons.

The beauty of this design is its simplicity and elegance. The animation is seamless, providing a smooth transition that makes the content feel responsive, yet not overwhelming. Users appreciate the gentle animations as they don’t distract from the primary content but enhance it.

2. CSS Info Cards with Hover Effect

CSS info cards with hover effect are ideal for displaying detailed information that is hidden by default. These cards can be used to show extra details, images, or links when hovered over. The hover effect can include a slight zoom in or blur effect that reveals additional content, such as descriptions, titles, or action buttons.

The key advantage of this design is that it provides a clear visual cue for the user. The change in appearance—such as background color changes, opacity transitions, or sliding content—encourages the user to explore more information without needing to click through to a new page. This makes it easier for users to quickly digest content and decide what they want to focus on.

3. Profile Card HTML CSS with Dynamic Animations

A profile card HTML CSS design is another effective use of hover animations. Often used in portfolios or team member pages, this design allows users to get a snapshot of an individual or character’s profile. When a user hovers over a profile card, the information might rotate, slide into view, or reveal an additional layer of content such as a biography, social media links, or job position.

By incorporating dynamic animations, the profile cards feel more interactive, allowing users to engage with content in a fun and memorable way. The hover effect can create a sense of depth by revealing hidden details or changing the card’s appearance to suggest a more personal connection with the individual featured.

4. Blog Card Grid CSS with Hover Transitions

For websites that display multiple blog posts or articles, Blog Card Grid CSS designs are perfect for organizing content in a visually appealing layout. A grid layout allows for multiple cards to be displayed at once, but with hover effects, each card becomes dynamic and interactive. For example, when a user hovers over a blog card, the title or description might shift slightly, the card may scale, or new information might appear.

The main benefit of this design is that it improves both organization and interactivity. Visitors can browse through content easily, and hovering over a card provides an immediate visual response, offering more details or prompting users to engage further with the content. It's a great way to display multiple articles while keeping the interface clean and navigable.

5. Hovering Detail Card CSS with Image Transitions

For websites focused on images or visual media, hovering detail card CSS with image transitions can add an extra layer of interactivity. This design typically uses hover effects to animate images, such as changing the opacity or shifting the image to reveal additional details behind it. For example, hovering over an image might cause it to blur or change opacity, unveiling extra information like descriptions or action buttons.

This type of hover animation works especially well for image-heavy websites like portfolios or galleries. The image transition provides a dynamic experience that encourages users to interact with the images and view the additional content without navigating away from the page.

How Hover Animations Enhance User Experience

Immediate Feedback

Hover animations provide users with immediate feedback when interacting with elements. Whether it’s a subtle hover effect that changes the color of a button or a complex transformation that rotates a profile card, the feedback assures users that their actions are being recognized.

Enhanced Engagement

Hover animations not only grab attention but also help users feel more engaged with the website. As users hover over elements, they explore more content and interact with the design in a more meaningful way. This can lead to longer page visits, higher engagement, and a greater sense of satisfaction with the overall web experience.

Improved Navigation

Hover animations make it easier for users to navigate through content. For example, profile card HTML CSS designs that reveal more information on hover make it clear that users can explore more about a person or product. Similarly, Blog Card Grid CSS designs with hover effects let users easily preview the content of articles, encouraging them to click and read more.

Visually Appealing Interactions

The aesthetic quality of hover effects cannot be overlooked. Dynamic animations bring a polished look to your website, making it feel modern and well-designed. Whether it’s through smooth scaling, opacity changes, or sliding transitions, these hover effects enhance the visual flow and contribute to a more enjoyable browsing experience.

Best Practices for Using Hover Effects

While hover effects are a powerful tool in web design, they should be used thoughtfully to ensure the best user experience. Here are a few best practices for implementing hover card designs:

Keep Animations Subtle

Animations should be subtle and not distract from the main content. Overly complex or fast-moving animations may overwhelm users or slow down the website. Instead, focus on smooth transitions and gentle effects that add to the experience without being intrusive.

Provide Clear Visual Cues

Make sure the hover effects clearly indicate to the user that the card is interactive. This can be achieved by changing the appearance of the card, such as altering the background color, scaling the card, or revealing hidden content.

Optimize for Mobile Devices

Many hover effects rely on the user hovering over a specific area. However, mobile devices lack the ability to hover, so it’s essential to ensure that hover card designs are responsive and work well on touchscreen devices. You can achieve this by providing tap-based interactions or using clicks for mobile users.

Ensure Fast Load Times

While hover animations can enhance the user experience, they should not slow down the page load time. Ensure that your hover card designs and animations are optimized for fast performance, especially for users with slower internet connections.

Conclusion

Incorporating HTML hover card designs with dynamic animations is a fantastic way to engage users and improve their experience on your website. Whether you're using CSS info cards with hover effects, profile card HTML CSS designs, or Blog Card Grid CSS layouts, these interactive designs make websites feel more responsive, engaging, and user-friendly. By using smooth transitions, clear visual cues, and subtle animations, you can create a memorable user experience that encourages interaction and exploration.

am i dumb

today i feel defeated because i didn't know you could put a css grid within a grid during this exercise i was doing. it wasn't shown in the tutorial and i only knew because i compared my code with the model code. so when i found out i was ike ???#%#$?^$&

i was so stuck on why this text was below a photo instead of sitting next to it and i feel like i should've known??

i'm just beating myself up at this point but i really couldn't put the pieces together and i'm sad that i'm DUM.

i mean i understand it now but AT WHAT COSTTT it felt like i was blatantly copying what the instructor put in their code even though it kinda wasn't so i feel like a fraud but a dummy at the same time bc i couldn't figure that out :(((((((((((((

this is an example of the problem i was facing:

#real #true

context: the lesson was introducing css grid and explaining how display inline blocks don't automatically apply vertical alignment so grids are better.

here is my html and css for these example i made and whatnot:

(these contain div elements using the nested layouts technique)

2. i put them in a grid and removed the inline blocks as told by the tutorial (photo is at 100% width) and the text ended up like this:

the text is below the icon now (rounded photo)

3. found out that the instructor put a grid within the text and icon and so i did the same thing and

this is the html and css + the final outcome:

skjdnwesfh;kjrbgjbfjbgkjrdngkdjtfgnjdfbgrehb

tjgnrjgnregjbr

if i couldn't figure this simple thing out on my own

how will i figure anything out on my own

Responsive vs. Adaptive: Choosing the Right Design Approach for Web and Mobile

In today's digital landscape, creating a seamless user experience across various devices is crucial for the success of any website or application. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and desktops of varying sizes, designers and developers face the challenge of ensuring their content looks great and functions well on all screens. Two popular approaches have emerged to tackle this challenge: responsive design and adaptive design. In this blog post, we'll explore both methods, their pros and cons, and help you decide which one might be the best fit for your project.

Understanding Responsive Design

Responsive design is an approach that aims to create a fluid and flexible layout that automatically adjusts to fit the screen size of the device it's being viewed on. This method uses CSS media queries to modify the design and layout based on the viewport width, allowing the content to "respond" to the user's device.

Key Features of Responsive Design:

Fluid Grids: The layout is based on proportional percentages rather than fixed pixel values.

Flexible Images: Images scale within their containing elements to prevent them from displaying outside their parent container.

CSS Media Queries: These allow different styles to be applied based on the device's characteristics, primarily screen width.

Advantages of Responsive Design:

One Design for All Devices: Developers only need to create and maintain a single version of the website.

Future-Proof: As new devices with different screen sizes emerge, responsive designs can often accommodate them without major changes.

Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive to implement and maintain compared to creating separate designs for each device type.

SEO-Friendly: Google recommends responsive design, which can potentially improve search engine rankings.

Disadvantages of Responsive Design:

Performance Challenges: The same content is loaded for all devices, which can lead to slower load times on mobile devices.

Complex Implementation: Creating a truly responsive design that works well across all devices can be challenging and time-consuming.

Limited Control: Designers have less control over how the layout appears on specific devices.

Understanding Adaptive Design

Adaptive design, also known as adaptive layout, takes a different approach. Instead of creating a fluid design that changes continuously with the screen size, adaptive design detects the device type and loads a pre-set layout designed specifically for that device's screen size.

Key Features of Adaptive Design:

Multiple Fixed Layouts: Typically, designers create layouts for common screen sizes (e.g., 320px, 480px, 760px, 960px, 1200px, and 1600px).

Server-Side Components: Often involves server-side detection of the user's device to serve the appropriate layout.

Device-Specific Optimizations: Each layout can be tailored to the specific capabilities and constraints of target devices.

Advantages of Adaptive Design:

Optimized Performance: Each device receives only the resources and code necessary for its specific layout, potentially improving load times.

Greater Control: Designers have more precise control over how the site looks on specific devices.

Tailored User Experience: The design can be customized to take advantage of device-specific features or accommodate limitations.

Disadvantages of Adaptive Design:

Higher Development Costs: Creating and maintaining multiple layouts for different devices can be more time-consuming and expensive.

Less Flexible: May require updates when new devices with different screen sizes become popular.

Potential for Redundant Code: If not managed carefully, adaptive designs can lead to duplicate code across different layouts.

Choosing the Right Approach

Deciding between responsive and adaptive design depends on various factors specific to your project. Here are some considerations to help guide your choice:

When to Choose Responsive Design:

New Projects: For new websites or applications, responsive design is often the go-to choice due to its flexibility and future-proofing.

Content-Heavy Sites: Blogs, news sites, and other content-focused platforms often benefit from the simplicity of responsive design.

Limited Budget: If resources are constrained, responsive design can be more cost-effective in the long run.

SEO Priority: If search engine optimization is a primary concern, responsive design aligns well with Google's recommendations.

When to Choose Adaptive Design:

Existing Sites: When retrofitting an existing desktop site for mobile, adaptive design can sometimes be easier to implement.

Performance-Critical Applications: For sites where speed is crucial, adaptive design's ability to serve optimized content for each device can be beneficial.

Complex Functionality: If your site has features that require significantly different interfaces on mobile vs. desktop, adaptive design offers more control.

E-commerce Platforms: Online stores might benefit from adaptive design's ability to tailor the shopping experience to different devices.

Hybrid Approaches

It's worth noting that the choice between responsive and adaptive design isn't always binary. Some projects benefit from a hybrid approach that combines elements of both:

RESS (Responsive Design + Server Side Components): This approach uses responsive design as a base but incorporates server-side components to optimize certain elements for specific devices.

Adaptive Content: Some sites use a responsive layout but adapt the content served based on the device, combining the flexibility of responsive design with the performance benefits of adaptive content delivery.

Conclusion

Both responsive and adaptive design have their place in modern web development. Responsive design offers simplicity and flexibility, making it a great choice for many projects, especially those starting from scratch. Adaptive design, while potentially more complex to implement, can provide performance benefits and a more tailored user experience for specific devices.

Ultimately, the best approach depends on your project's specific needs, target audience, and resources. Consider factors such as your content, desired user experience, development resources, and maintenance capabilities when making your decision. In some cases, a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both methods might be the optimal solution.

Update: State of my Website

Over the last few days, I went from not having a website to having my own website, having a social wall, having a blog, and basically linking everything to everything.

I have also added a blogroll, so that people can actually leave my website following their own urge to surf the web.

But I think the most radical thing I did was take inspiration from an ebook I am currently reading: Interpassivity, by Robert Pfaller, or rather from the way it looks and reads, if this verb allows for being changed into something an object does, instead of being something done with an object you can read.

Ebooks are, similar to how apps are these days, wrapped web pages: they are basically html and css (and javacript, if you look at apps).

So I studied why I found this ebook such easily readable, and it turns out that it is for the simple fact, that, all by itself, it was set to display in Times New Roman. Should that typeface not exist, then it would be displayed in Times, and if that, too, should fail, just a Serif typeface (like I first tried with Georgia, but I really didn’t like Georgia’s bombastic medieval numerals, it felt like a winery!).

There is still some tweaking to be done (based around my knowledge of typographic detail and grids, I need to take a second look at line height and how far paragraphs are spaced out vertically), but having done this change all I can say is that I am amazed by how readable my website and my blogged articles suddenly are.

It honestly feels like doing something new, because basically everyone is doing the custom typeface, sans‑serif for everything, really, while, what I think, the eye of the reader suffers for it.

The screenshots above were made while my Dark Reader plugin was active, so don’t be surprised that the real thing looks different ;)

There is also this bonus effect of how Serifs are connected to authority, and despite what the Bauhaus nerds tell us graphic designers in a top‑down abstraction, authority is good, especially if it comes for free by increasing the readability.

AGARTHA Aİ - DEVASA+

In today's digital age, a well-designed website is essential for success, but the cost of professional web design can often be a barrier for many businesses. Fortunately, affordable web design services have emerged as a viable solution, ensuring that everyone—from startups to established small businesses—can establish an impressive online presence without breaking the bank. This blog post will explore the various aspects of affordable web design services, highlighting what to look for in a reliable website service, the importance of responsive web design, and how budget-friendly options can specifically cater to the unique needs of small businesses. 

Affordable web design services

In today’s digital landscape, affordable web design services have become essential for businesses of all sizes. With an increasing number of consumers turning to the internet for their needs, having a professional and attractive website is more critical than ever. Many small businesses and startups often worry that they cannot afford high-quality web design, but there are plenty of options available that offer both quality and cost-effectiveness.

One of the main advantages of choosing affordable web design services is the ability to find packages that fit various budgets without sacrificing quality. Many web design agencies understand the needs of small businesses and offer tailored solutions that ensure a professional presentation without overwhelming financial commitments. This is especially beneficial for startups that are eager to establish a digital presence without breaking the bank.

Moreover, many affordable web design services provide flexibility in their offerings, allowing clients to select features that meet their specific requirements. From simple informational websites to more complex e-commerce solutions, the variety available in budget-friendly web design ensures that every business can find a service that aligns with its goals and vision. Investing in affordable web design not only enhances a brand's credibility but also helps reach a wider audience effectively.

Website service

In today's digital age, having a robust website service is essential for both businesses and individuals. A well-designed website serves as the online face of a company and is often the first point of contact for potential customers. Investing in quality website service can significantly enhance your online presence and build trust with your audience.

Choosing the right website service provider is crucial. Look for companies that offer customized solutions tailored to your unique needs. This ensures that the website not only looks good but also functions effectively, providing an optimal user experience. A reliable website service provider should provide ongoing support and maintenance to keep your site running smoothly.

Moreover, an effective website service should prioritize SEO optimization, ensuring that your site ranks well in search engine results. This is vital as higher visibility leads to increased traffic and potential sales. Remember, a great website is more than just beautiful design; it's about delivering a seamless user experience

Responsive web design

Responsive web design is an essential approach to creating websites that provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices. With the increase in mobile device usage, it has become crucial for businesses to ensure that their websites function seamlessly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. Designing with responsiveness in mind leads to a more user-friendly experience, which can significantly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

One of the key principles of responsive web design is the use of flexible layouts and grid systems. This allows elements on the page to resize and reposition themselves according to the screen size. By employing CSS media queries, designers can tailor styles for different devices, ensuring that content is displayed appropriately without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

Moreover, implementing responsive web design is not just beneficial for users, but it also plays a vital role in search engine optimization (SEO). Search engines like Google prioritize mobile-friendly websites in their rankings. Therefore, having a site that is responsive can lead to better visibility in search results, driving more organic traffic to your website.

Affordable web design for small business

In today's digital age, every small business needs a strong online presence to compete effectively. However, finding affordable web designfor small business can be a daunting task for many entrepreneurs. It's essential to strike a balance between quality design and budget constraints.

One of the best ways to achieve this is by opting for responsive web design. This approach ensures that your website not only looks great on desktop but also provides an excellent user experience on mobile devices. Since a significant portion of web traffic comes from smartphones, investing in responsive design is crucial for small businesses seeking to maximize their reach.

There are numerous platforms offering affordable web design packages specifically tailored for small businesses. These services can help you establish a professional look without breaking the bank. By choosing the right designer, you can create a site that reflects your brand and meets your customers' needs while staying within your budget.

how to add masonry and infinite scroll to a tumblr theme

Hi, welcome. If you’re here, it’s because you want to add either Masonry, Infinite Scroll or both to your custom Tumblr theme.

Heads up, this guide requires some familiarity with HTML, CSS and Javascript as you will be editing your current theme and since all themes are different, I can't give step-by-step instructions on how to edit your exact theme.

Also, this post is best viewed on my desktop theme. Blame Tumblr for not supporting Markdown properly.

OVERVIEW

Alright, so what are we even adding? Basically, Masonry is used to display your posts in a nicely laid out grid, even if they're all different sizes. You tell it what your posts are, what you want them to fit into and it'll come up with a nice grid layout for you. Infinite Scroll is used to... infinitely scroll through posts with having to go to another page. It’s the endless scrolling of your Twitter/Instagram/whatever feed.

Now maybe you’ve already got one or the other in your theme and you’re looking to add the other one. Sounds pretty simple, yeah? It kind of is. The trouble is that Masonry and Infinite Scroll interact with each other. When you’re using Infinite Scroll, whenever you scroll down and load more posts, Masonry needs to check whether your post layout is still okay and correct it if it isn't.

PLUGINS

For the sake of this guide not getting too confusing and because they integrate so easily together, we’ll ONLY be using David DeSandro's Masonry and Infinite Scroll Javascript plugins. If you’ve got different versions of these plugins, remove them now as they may cause issues.

First, we need to add the plugins to your theme’s head:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/masonry-layout@4/dist/masonry.pkgd.min.js"></script><script src="https://unpkg.com/infinite-scroll@4/dist/infinite-scroll.pkgd.min.js"></script>

HTML

To get Masonry working, we need to know what your posts are and the container that they're in. Give your posts a class (e.g. .post) and your container an id (e.g. #posts). We can also specify additional options, such as column width and spacing between the posts. We want the layout to be responsive, so by following the example code Masonry provides, we'll create post-sizer and gutter-sizer.

To add Infinite Scroll, we need to know what the posts are (same as Masonry) and where to get the new content from - this will be the next page of posts on your blog. Tumblr lets us get that easily using pagination variables. Make sure you give the next page a class (e.g. .pagination__next), since this is where we'll be loading new posts from.

Your HTML might look something like this:

<div id="posts"> <div id="post-sizer"></div> <div id="gutter-sizer"></div> {block:Posts} <div class="post" id="{PostID}"> <div class="post-content"> {block:Text} {/block:Text} </div> </div> {/block:Posts} </div> <p id="footer"> {block:PreviousPage} <a href="{PreviousPage}">« Previous</a> {/block:PreviousPage} {block:NextPage} <a href="{NextPage}" class="pagination__next">Next »</a> {/block:NextPage} <a href="/archive">Archive</a> </p>

CSS

For the styling, we want the layout to be responsive so we'll set post-sizer and gutter-sizer to have a % width. For the rest of the styling, we'll use some of Masonry's example code again.

Your CSS might look something like this:

* { box-sizing: border-box; } #posts { width: 800px; } #posts:after { content: ''; display: block; clear: both; } #post-sizer, .post { width: 32.66%; } #gutter-sizer { width: 1%; } .post { background-color: lightgrey; margin-bottom: 10px; } .post-content { width: 100%; padding: 10px; float: left; }

JAVASCRIPT

In your theme's head, we can create a new script and set up Masonry inside it like this:

<script> window.onload = function() { var elem = document.getElementById('posts'); var msnry = new Masonry(elem, { itemSelector: '.post', percentPosition: true, columnWidth: '#post-sizer', gutter: '#gutter-sizer' }); } </script>

Then to actually get Masonry to generate a layout, we need to call it like this:

msnry.layout();

Usually, that's all you really need for Masonry but for Tumblr posts, any media embeds might take a bit of time to load. For example, Instagram embeds get taller when they're fully loaded (or at least they used to) and this can screw up the layout of your posts. To deal with this, you can add an observer that checks for any changes with media embeds and calculates a new layout if needed:

const embedObserver = new MutationObserver((m, o) => { msnry.layout(); }); embedObserver.observe(document, { childList: true, subtree: true });

Then finally, we need to set up Infinite Scroll. Remember, we're using the same posts that Masonry is changing. Since this plugin is made by the same guy who wrote Masonry, we can integrate it easily using outlayer:

let infScroll = new InfiniteScroll(elem, { path: '.pagination__next', append: '.post', outlayer: msnry });

Every time it loads a new page, it'll update the URL in your address bar. If you want to turn that off, you can add a new line to the previous codeblock, setting history to false:

let infScroll = new InfiniteScroll(elem, { path: '.pagination__next', append: '.post', history: false, outlayer: msnry });

And that should be it! The whole script should be something like this:

<script> window.onload = function() { // INITIALISE MASONRY var elem = document.getElementById('posts'); var msnry = new Masonry(elem, { itemSelector: '.post', percentPosition: true, columnWidth: '#post-sizer', gutter: '#gutter-sizer' }); // CALL MASONRY LAYOUT msnry.layout(); // CALL MASONRY LAYOUT ON EMBED LOAD const embedObserver = new MutationObserver((m, o) => { msnry.layout(); }); embedObserver.observe(document, { childList: true, subtree: true }); // INITIALISE INFINITE SCROLL let infScroll = new InfiniteScroll(elem, { path: '.pagination__next', append: '.post', history: false, outlayer: msnry }); } </script>

FINALLY...

Do keep in mind that your theme code will be different to this, so it's not a case of just copying and pasting everything directly. Remember to remove any old Masonry or Infinite Scroll plugins you already have. Your class and id names will probably be different and you may need to add certain HTML elements if you're missing them. You'll almost certainly need to tweak the styling too.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you need help or want to heckle me about the guide being outdated.

Top 5 Interactive HTML Hover Card Designs with Hover Animations

In the world of modern web design, HTML Hover Card Design has become a popular method to enhance interactivity and user engagement. Hover cards offer a dynamic and visually appealing way to present content on a website, improving both aesthetics and functionality. By incorporating hover animations, these cards allow web users to explore content interactively without overwhelming them with too much information at once. In this article, we will explore the top 5 HTML Hover Card Designs with hover animations that can transform the user experience on your website.

1. Profile Card HTML CSS

One of the most common uses of HTML Hover Card Design is the profile card HTML CSS. Profile cards are a great way to display personal or team information. Typically, a profile card HTML CSS displays basic details such as a person’s name, title, and a small image. When users hover over the card, the content may expand to show additional details, like a biography, contact links, or social media profiles. This interaction keeps the design clean and intuitive while providing the visitor with an engaging way to explore more information.

Hover effects can be applied to change the background color or display additional information smoothly. This HTML Hover Card Design is highly versatile and works for team member sections, personal profiles, or even individual blog posts.

2. Blog Card Grid CSS

Another great example of HTML Hover Card Design is the blog card grid CSS layout. This design is widely used for organizing blog posts or articles in a grid format. Each card within the grid represents a single blog post, and when the user hovers over it, more details are revealed, such as the post’s title, a brief summary, or even the post’s featured image.

The blog card grid CSS layout is perfect for content-heavy websites that want to present multiple pieces of content while maintaining a clean, visually appealing interface. This HTML Hover Card Design ensures that users can quickly browse through posts, while hover effects provide a dynamic touch that draws attention to the most relevant content.

3. Hovering Detail Card CSS

The hovering detail card CSS is another exceptional HTML Hover Card Design that is perfect for displaying extra details about content on demand. Initially, the card may only show a thumbnail image or title, and when the user hovers over it, additional information like descriptions or links appears.

This design is great for portfolios, product showcases, and service descriptions where you want to avoid cluttering the page with too much text. The hovering detail card CSS offers a smooth interaction that enhances the user experience without overwhelming them with information right away.

4. CSS Info Cards with Hover Effect

For websites that require quick, digestible bits of information, CSS info cards with hover effect are an excellent choice. These cards can be used to present product features, statistics, or summaries of key details. When users hover over the card, additional content can slide in or fade into view, providing more context.

This HTML Hover Card Design works perfectly in situations where brief information is needed, but you want to avoid overwhelming the user with a full paragraph of text. It’s commonly used in product pages, landing pages, and marketing websites where users need to access essential details at a glance.

5. About Card with Hover Effect

The about card with hover effect is a unique HTML Hover Card Design often used for “About Us” pages or personal introductions. These cards typically start with a small image or title, and when the user hovers over it, they are presented with more in-depth information, such as a detailed bio, mission statement, or key values.

Using the about card with hover effect can significantly improve the user experience on websites that focus on personal or organizational branding. It provides a visually appealing way for users to learn more about individuals or companies, and the hover animation keeps the content dynamic.

How to Implement HTML Hover Card Design

Incorporating HTML Hover Card Design into your website can greatly improve the interactivity and aesthetic appeal of your site. To help you get started, below is a section of code that demonstrates the basic structure for creating a hover card. While the specific code is not included here, the section will give you a general idea of how to design your hover cards.

Code Example Section for HTML Hover Cards

The code for an HTML Hover Card Design typically consists of HTML for the content structure and CSS for the hover animation effects. For instance, if you are implementing a profile card HTML CSS, you would structure the HTML to include basic content like a name and image, while the CSS would define the hover effects that reveal more information when a user hovers over the card.

Conclusion

HTML Hover Card Design offers an excellent way to improve interactivity and usability on websites. Whether you’re using profile card HTML CSS to display team members, blog card grid CSS for organizing posts, or hovering detail card CSS to provide extra content, hover animations enhance the user experience. Additionally, CSS info cards with hover effect and about card with hover effect designs allow for a more engaging interaction. By carefully implementing these hover cards, you can create a visually appealing and user-friendly website that encourages exploration and engagement.
