⇾ The Production “Workflow” of Our Live Online Streaming Shows at Stay Curious

During the last couple of days I sat down and emptied my head around how I produce my online events over there at beyond tellerrand which I titled Stay Curious.

I went from planning to production and tried to cover everything, but not to go into too much detail. Surely you can write a lot about each of those points on its own and in case you have questions to any specific part, please let me know.

Feed back is welcome also, of course.

⇾ A Complete Guide to Custom Properties on CSS Tricks

Chris Coyier has created this guide on custom CSS properties. Make your CSS code more readable, cleaner and safe time changing stuff.

To the question ”Why care about CSS custom properties?” Chris writes …

  1. They help DRY up your CSS. That is “Don’t Repeat Yourself.” Custom properties can make code easier to maintain because you can update one value and have it reflected in multiple places. Careful though, overdoing abstraction can make have the opposite effect and make code less understandable.
  2. They are particularly helpful for things like creating color themes on a website.
  3. They unlock interesting possibilities in CSS.
  4. The fact that they can be updated in JavaScript opens up even more interesting doors.
