We’re always trying to make things better for our readers on Piccalilli and we have some exciting new ideas. We want to get a temperature check from our readers first though.

If you’ve got a couple of minutes spare, we’d really appreciate your thoughts.

We’ve been waiting for this stuff for a while in the studio so it’s good to see it moving at pace now.

It always felt like a slight oversight that we couldn’t style gaps from the outset, but grid was also incredibly complex to implement, so it’s understandable too.

Now we have text-box in CSS, understanding font metrics is even more important so you know what you’re trimming. This is a very handy little website that allows you to upload a font that you plan on using, along with a Google font picker.

Another top drawer article from Josh here with lots of interactivity for you to enhance your learning with.

We operate in lots of timezones, so any tool that helps you get a quick answer “what time is it in New York?” is always going to be on our radar. This one happens to be visually stunning too.
