Just wrote up my short talk from the 11ty meetup about using Cloudinary for dynamic social share images
Big props to @jlengstorf for the prior art and original code. Here I talk a lot about how gravity and layers work.

📝 11ty meetup: Tracking and displaying music history #Eleventy #Development #Webdev
I got to speak at the 11ty meetup today about the music tracking contraption I've built into my site. I have a fairly detailed post on how I built it and another on the method I'm using to render dynamic media (read: musician/band) pages.

The tenth is this no text duplication stroke shadow 🌊
https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/mdoPoJz
Absolutely no text duplication, not in the markup, not in any pseudo-element content.
The outline shadows are tiled down using an #SVG #filter, which is also responsible for the wave 🌊 distortion. 🪄

The fifth is a pure #CSS text effect.
https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/XWQQRWG
No text duplication whatsoever, no pseudos, no images save for CSS gradients. Just a single div and a few heavily commented CSS declarations.

✍🏻 New blog post! 📰
This time we'll take a closer look at how to avoid storing images in the Git repo. We'll also look at how to optimize images in #11ty and how to make them responsive. We also write our own shortcode for responsive background images!

Responsive, Self-hosted Images for Your Eleventy Blog - Sebin's Blog
While you can certainly host your image files with the Git repo your Eleventy site is checked into, or add them manually after building it, neither option is ideal if you want responsive images in multiple formats to save precious bandwidth.blog.sebin-nyshkim.net

📝 Dynamic pages with 11ty and Cloudflare workers #Eleventy #Development #Webdev #Javascript
I was rendering about 3300 pages every time my 11ty site built — probably overkill. About 615 artist pages, 1200+ movie pages, 500 show pages, 500 for books and ~35 for genres. Whew. Build times hovered at about a minute (still very impressive!) but would only ever increase.

Do you need to build a static website for fun or profit? Try the Simple.css Framework. It is a CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good.
+ A good-looking sans-serif local font stack.
+ Typographic best practices.
+ Automagic flipping to dark mode.
+ Fully responsive.
+ Sensible defaults that format standard + HTML elements.
+ Super lightweight (10k css).
+ Give it a try @ https://simplecss.org/ (my home page https://vivekgite.com for live demo).

One complaint I've seen here a bunch of times with `prefers-color-scheme` was about duplicating styles.
You don't have to do that when you switch by toggling a single `--dark` variable!

![From the comments on `prefers-color-scheme`:
* Not entirely related to this, but it would be amazing if we could target `prefers-color-scheme` along with user selected preferences, i.e. [data-theme=dark], in a single ruleset
* Wish I could combo this with the inevitable user-control hook as well though. Some kind of hybrid @media and regular selector, so you don't have to repeat everything within both an @media clause and then again with some kind of global selector e.g. body[data-theme="dark"]
* I really wish there was a way to use "dark mode" detection outside of a media query. I constantly want to treat "user selected dark mode" on my website the same as "auto theme + system dark mode", but I have to duplicate styles with the way CSS works right now! It's a huge bummer.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/3302711 "From the comments on `prefers-color-scheme`:

I've got a rough draft of a new portfolio site built: https://new-portfolio-ph.netlify.app/
I have a bunch of little chores I need to do before this is "done" but feel free to check it out. Feedback is welcome and helpful (including critical feedback!)
Here's what it will be replacing: https://paulmakeswebsites.com/
As usual, building with @eleventy made the coding part a breeze! (It was my first time trying the image plugin which is really nice.)
#tinyJStip Got some buttons and only one can be pressed? Here's a simple way to swap their values!
Same applies to swapping which tab is selected and other similar situations.
(doesn't seem to work for tabIndex through 😵)
#HTML #a11y #JS #JavaScript #code #web #coding #frontend #dev #webDev #webDevelopment
![addEventListener('click', e => {
let b = e.target;
if(b.classList.contains('t') && b.ariaPressed !== 'true') {
let a = document.querySelector('.t[aria-pressed=true]');
[b.ariaPressed, a.ariaPressed] =
[a.ariaPressed, b.ariaPressed]
}
})](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/3292148 "addEventListener('click', e => {
let b = e.target;
if(b.classList.contains('t') && b.ariaPressed !== 'true') {
let a = document.querySelector('.t[aria-pressed=true]');
[b.ariaPressed, a.ariaPressed] =
[a.ariaPressed, b.ariaPressed]
}
})")
Here's an example where I'm using something like this: switching between tabs.
Originally made this on @codepen after someone asked how to create tabs with rounded corners *and* borders.
https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/oNKLLbv
Then finally polished it this weekend.
Vanilla #CSS + #JS + a bit of #SVG #filter magic.🪄
Works with an image behind the tabs, the tabs may also have an image background.

The third is something I quickly made to answer a question I saw on reddit https://reddit.com/r/css/comments/1fwm87i/comment/lqg11fl/
It's similar to something you can find on a lot of websites with a couple extra constraints:
✨ no extra elements, no pseudos
✨ working fine on top of image background
#CSS #cssGradient #mask #cssMask #code #coding #frontend #web #dev #webDev #webDevelopment
The second is a quick little thing I live-coded in Professor Mode on @codepen in under 15 minutes a little while back.
Just like the first, it has absolutely no text duplication, not in the markup and not in pseudo content.
A little #SVG #filter magic 🪄 slices and offsets it https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/RwmPZVR
#CSS #cssGradient #svgFilter #code #coding #frontend #web #dev #webDev #webDevelopment
The first one is this text effect that uses absolutely no images whatsoever save for #CSS gradients.
Some #SVG filter magic 🪄 is responsible for the background texture and also for the 3D look of the text and its grainy gradients.

#tinyCSStip Simplest circle sector in 4 CSS declarations!
1⃣ set width to desired diameter
2⃣ square element with aspect-ratio
3⃣ turn square into disc
4⃣ conic-gradient() magic! 🪄
The start angle and sector angle can also be animated for fun results.
