Hello 👋
We’re trying a new thing with The Index. We’re going to increase the number of issues that land in your inbox or RSS reader, switching to twice-weekly on a Wednesday and Friday. The issues will be much shorter: just 5 links that we think you will be interested in. Let’s dig in!
CSS fix to prevent orphan icons dropping to a new line
A very useful technique. Will we ever agree on orphan or widow as an industry though? (orphan is correct).
Don’t Use aria-label on Static Text Elements
The aria-label attribute is often used as a cheat code, but you might be causing more damage than you realise.
Anchoreum - A game for learning CSS anchor positioning
This is nicely done and a useful way to learn anchor positioning.
n2.studio
I’ve got a thing for .studio domains, naturally, but this site is also everything I like: simple, clean and light.
Keeping Pixely Images Pixely (and Performant!)
I had no idea image-rendering was even a thing in CSS, but it looks very useful.
P.S. this is a cool demo
Thanks for reading this issue of The Index. You can get future updates by subscribing.
Until the next issue, take it easy 👋
