Ten tips for better CSS transitions and animations
users may not realize what it is about the transitions or animations on our websites and apps, but they can keenly spot the difference between good and bad. They intuitively know when an app’s movement feels good, and when the impression is instead generic or unpolished—even if they can’t explain how or why.
Accessibility Beyond Code Compliance
Design systems (and pattern libraries within them) codify your organization’s design and coding guidelines in such a way that the software you produce is consistent and the teams working on delivering that software are able to be more efficient because they aren’t having to design and build every interface from scratch. Having a design system that is accessible enables teams to avoid introducing new accessibility bugs in the process of creating bespoke interfaces. It also means finding and fixing an accessibility bug in the design system should fix it in all of the products using that design system. (That last part isn’t always perfect, but I don’t have time to get into that today.)
Everything is awesome: Don't forget the Lego
Six paediatric health-care professionals were recruited to swallow a Lego head. Previous gastrointestinal surgery, inability to ingest foreign objects and aversion to searching through faecal matter were all exclusion criteria.

Having my phone in my pocket doesn’t trigger anything but distraction. It can do everything, and so I feel nothing in particular about it. A physical camera takes photos, but it also makes me think about seeing. And I like that.
According to the results presented above, we can conclude that JXL is the superior format for both lossy and lossless operations. That is clear by only looking at the results, but we can also have a look at the features of each format. Some of them are very important.
Why you need to know your site's performance poverty line (and how to find it)
The performance poverty line is the plateau at which changes to your website’s rendering metrics (such as Start Render and Largest Contentful Paint) cease to matter because you’ve bottomed out in terms of business and user engagement metrics.

The next generation image format for the web is not JPEG XL?
Perhaps, the jig is not up for JPEG XL and HEIC. WebP was in Chrome for 5 years before the others decided to follow suit. The format war is a war of attrition!
