Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
After a late-night scroll through my BlueSky, I stumbled upon a CSS tip from Adam Argyle. It was one of those aha moments, where something so simple can make such a big difference. The issue? First, let me show the tip: Don't:overflow-x: auto;overscroll-behavior: contain;Do:overflow-x: auto;overscroll-behavior-x: contain; Why?The page may feel unresponsive! Trying to vertically scroll...

OK, they are really published here so I don't have to bookmark them on my computer. Since Deli.ci.ious changed... Continue Reading →
