Josh's Whimsical Animations course is INCREDIBLE. It contains all of the amazing tricks that he's curated over the years, for you to install onto your own brains. e.g., I went from having no knowledge of the Canvas API to being able to create snazzy animations like these fireworks from scratch.

🎉 Registration is now open for my latest course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you everything you need to know to design and build stunning, creative animations and interactions. It’s time to make the web less generic and boring! 😄

They battled their way to the finals. @tolin.ski vs @joshwcomeau.com Be honest… is your bracket still alive?

I ❤️ homemade websites. All the differences and nuances thanks to individual preferences and decisions. Visual and technical diversity. Here is also where we can tell where web development really stands, how much it has evolved. The homemade part of the Web is—the Beautiful Web. #web #indieweb

I’m super excited to see what people come up with for this! The winner gets a copy of my animations course 😄

@joshwcomeau.com is still running his Black Friday for another 18+ hours. If you're a web developer who wants to learn from the tippity top, do was last-year-me said and get this bundle (which, admittedly, should've been titled "Bundle of Joy"). Plus, you'll be supporting one helluva great fella.

If you’re thinking of participating in the #AdventOfSystemSeeing this year, you have a good reason to treat yourself to a new notebook to journal in, and maybe even some nice pens or whatever. Last year’s daily journal prompts got turned into this (pdf): www.ruthmalan.com/systems/2025...

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners. If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them. Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

Said time is, of course, the week of Black Friday — about which I have some Big Feelings: wil.to/newsletters/... So, if you’re in a position where you’re able to do so, help me make sure JavaScript for Everyone lives up to its name by paying a little more for it. Hear me out:

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

One of the most powerful tools in my toolbox is SVG. When combined with CSS and JavaScript, we can do some truly remarkable things. ✨ 📝 I’ve just published a brand-new blog post that covers the most critical fundamentals. It’s chock full of interactive demos. 😄 Check it out:

we really put the "face" into "interface" didn't we? lol

⚡ Did you know that migrating from JSDOM to Vitest Browser Mode is a matter of swapping two imports?

✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI. This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years. Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:

For one week only we're dropping the price of Complete CSS from £249 to £169! There's no code required, just head on over and grab your copy. If you're coming in from a country that gets Purchasing Parity Power (PPP) you can still apply those discounts at checkout too. piccalil.li/complete-css

A cool thing I made on #CodePen: interactive demo illustrating how to use #SVG `feColorMatrix` to swap 2 channels of its input. codepen.io/thebabydino/... Viewport adaptive. Heavily commented code if you want to check how the demo works in the back. Makes use of modern #CSS features. Made with ❤️.

At the beginning of 2024 I had newborn twins and two-year-old twins, I developed arthritis, and I got laid off while on paternity leave. Since then, Steve and I started a business and doubled our old salaries. 2024 was the hardest year of my life. Here's my review 👇

🎊 Happy New Year! I discovered a lot of very cool dev stuff in 2024, from libraries to devtools to educational resources. Thought it’d be fun to share them all, to help kickstart your 2025! Let’s go through the list. 🧵

Created a new Vite + React Router project through its CLI, and my goodness, it generates a lot of files. 😅 I miss Create React App. Was such a nice idea to tuck the config inside react-scripts and only reveal it when users opt in. Perfect for teaching, and for quick prototypes.

I am this 🤏 close to start teasing my book cover. A little more work on small things, formatting for the right distribution size, and I think that will be the time.

🔥 One of my favourite hidden macOS features is the scroll hotkey gesture. By holding ⌘ (Command) and scrolling down, we zoom WAY IN on the cursor’s location. I learned this trick for highlighting stuff in video tutorials, but it comes in handy a lot in my day-to-day life!

Did you know it's called the View Transition API (and not the View Transitions API [plural])? Now MDN knows too (github.com/mdn/content/...) so there's no reason to keep using the wrong name. Learn about this and other misconceptions in this post: developer.chrome.com/blog/view-tr...

CSS Wrapped 2024 is here! Just like last year, we – the Chrome DevRel team – have published CSS Wrapped, our end of year overview of all the new #CSS and Web UI features that landed in Chrome and The Web Platform in 2024. 👉 chrome.dev/css-wrapped-... is the place to be!

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

Wizard Zines is doing another Big Zine Sale again this year on **Friday, November 29th**! One day only. here’s a google calendar link for the duration of the sale if you want a reminder: wzrd.page/cal

Heads up, #CSS has an `infinity` constant. You can use it to create an unbeatable z-index.

#tinyCSStip An absolutely positioned child/ pseudo with `inset: 0` covers its parent's `padding-box`. See twitter.com/anatudor/sta... If the parent has a `border` and you want the entire `border-box` covered, then you need to set `inset` to the value of the `border-width` *with minus*.

Stoked to announce that TanStack Start is now officially BETA! 🎉 🎊 Please come and try it and help us get it ready for 1.0! tanstack.com/start cc @tanstack.com

Over the past week, the social media site Bluesky's growth has exploded, more than doubling to 15 million-plus users, as people seek alternatives to X, Facebook and Threads.
