I used to be able to indentify typefaces in use around in the real world as a kid. My mom would get a kick out of me noticing the same typefaces used by different brands on billboards and stuff as …| Chris Coyier
You’ve likely heard me go on about how much I like an encourage using an RSS reader. Molly White frames it nicely: What if you could take all your favorite newsletters, ditch the data collection, and curate your own newspaper? It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone […]| Chris Coyier
Dave Rupert: Talk to any guitarist you know who has been playing awhile and they’ll have a story about a $200 Yamaha and how good it sounds relative to the price. Boy do I. I own a $5,000 guitar (w…| Chris Coyier
Wes on Syntax: I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websites has been going up significantly. You ask a question about JavaScript and they go suck […]| Chris Coyier
I saw that screencasting.com launched recently. It’s training courses all about building high-quality screencasts. Seemed like a great idea to me with the perfect domain name. There is so much video lately in today’s media and plenty of it involves editing together camera footage, stock clips, screen recordings, etc. The learning curve on doing all […]| Chris Coyier
John Allsopp has a new platform Conffab that is for livestreaming conferences as well as providing on-demand access to past recorded conference presentations. Some of which are behind a paywall. He…| Chris Coyier
Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians. […]| Chris Coyier
Offerwall lets sites provide potentially a few ways to monetize content, and for users to choose the one that they prefer. For example, a publisher can set up to allow reading their site in exchange for watching an ad (similar to YouTube’s model). That’s pretty interesting, but far more interesting to me, is that it integrates with […]| Chris Coyier
Jenn Schiffer, in what was surely a bummer post to write because of all the time and heart she put into Glitch, lists out what’s she’s doing to move her glitch.com projects elsewhere post-shutdown. i’ve been using codepen since the beginning. i just found this “in progress” live horse birth in css that was last saved 11 […]| Chris Coyier
Somebody emailed me out of the blue offering to sell me coyier.com. Usually I’m not interested in domains. I have this one, it’s fine. Subdomains are cool. You can put dashes in domains and get them cheap (see: css-tricks.com). There are a billion TLDs now and you don’t really need the dot-com. But I thought […]| Chris Coyier
I’ve tried over the course of a couple of weeks. I’ve tried in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I’ve ensured there are no browser extensions at all running. I’ve tried changing little details on the forms in case one of them was tripping it up. I’ve tried on two different networks, neither of which has anything […]| Chris Coyier
For over a year every time I restarted my computer, the internet didn’t work. The trouble was, and I forgot how I even figured it out at first, was that the DNS Server was set 127.0.0.1 on my…| Chris Coyier
Our little family took a quick trip down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — meeting my inlaws there for some fun in the sun. We stayed at the Hyatt Ziva. We actually “won” the trip a few year…| Chris Coyier
I mostly play old time and bluegrass music. Particularly in old time and fiddle songs, the songs have a fairly rigid and repetitious structure. That’s not to say players don’t do intere…| Chris Coyier
It was March 2022 when I sold CSS-Tricks to DigitalOcean. So it’s been just about 2 years now. This was me and my wife’s thinking: The negotiated sale price was fair. They are a big com…| Chris Coyier
I was pretty hot on it for a minute. I wanted it to succeed and thought it had the bones to make it. Coil was the main startup trying to push it. They did the right thing by just making it work fir…| Chris Coyier
