Featured Article permalink

The Sidebar - Every Layout

This is one of my favourite layouts from the new book that I co-authored with Heydon. There’s a lot of flexbox goodness to get your teeth stuck into.

A reminder: you can still grab 20% discount on Every Layout by using the code PICCALILLI_PAL for being a subscriber of this newsletter.

Fancy permalink

Cher Ami - Agency Site

⚠️ Motion warning ⚠️

This website is wild and incredibly creative. There’s a lot going on and some very odd interactions.

The transition states are outrageously good, too!


Lemonade - Campaign Site

⚠️ Motion warning ⚠️

This is a beautiful site. I normally hate scroll-based stuff, but it’s really nicely done.

The colours, typefaces and illustration are pure lushness.


Webclerks Conference Site

This website is stunning. A hell of a good lineup of speakers too!


Select menu interaction

These are really cool. I’m not 100% convinced that they are accessible, but it is nice to see semantic elements used on a demo like this.

Nice work by Aaron.

Animation permalink

Deep sea (Chrome only)

⚠️ Motion warning ⚠️

Another stunning piece of work by yuanchuan. I could sit and watch this for hours.

Fun permalink

Bee Right Back

⚠️ Motion warning ⚠️

This is a lovely little loader by Gabriele.

Resources permalink

CSS Filters

This is brilliant, by Valentin. It’s such a handy resource for playing with and learning about CSS filters, which are incredibly powerful.

Sponsor permalink

This week’s sponsor is State of the Browser

I’m delighted to have these folks sponsoring this week’s issue of Piccalilli. It’s a great conference and tickets for this year’s event, on September 14th, are on sale now!
