Aside from the unreal levels of detail, what I really love about this site is that the animation is tasteful. You don’t have to make everything move and apply scroll-jacking, as Henry demonstrates expertly. They’re a super talent (who’s looking to be hired).

Very good, pragmatic principles from one of the canonical voices in accessibility, Heydon Pickering.

A genius take on the all time classic game.

We’re finally getting the tools in CSS for fine details and placement. This is a great run through of margin-trim to compliment our run through of text-box-trim.

And to compliment the last link, Ahmad runs us through balancing text with one of his famous interactive articles. CSS really is the best design tool.

P.S. this is a good demo.

Thanks so much for reading this issue of The Index and lending us your time.

The best way for people to discover this newsletter is if you share it with your friends, so I'd really appreciate it if you did that.

Until the next issue, take it easy 👋
