What are the dos and don'ts of gel printing? It's all here along with gel printing resources, a downloadable guide and free videos!

Do use any acrylic paint. Don’t worry if the paint is the correct type for gel printing. All acrylic paints work on it!

Do get your favorite colors, even if they are different brands of paint. Don’t worry, paint doesn’t have cooties and the different brands can all play nicely together.

Fontimize: Subset Fonts to Exactly and Only Your Website's Used Characters
A Python library to subset fonts, which cuts ~95% from the size of your site’s font files & downloads/bandwidth. To use: from fontimize import optimise_fonts_for_files and call it with a list of HTML files. See the the full API docs for more info.
Find Fontimize on Github and PyPi.

I randomly came across your blog post on this library and thought I'd take a look at the code. I noticed you have an accidental O(n^2) string concatenation. In a few places in your code, you're appending lists of strings. This is a problem as it creates new intermediate strings in each iteration. Here is one such example:

Less typing is always better
Last but not least, my absolute favourite <input> attribute is the autocomplete attribute.

For controlling the available virtual keyboards use inputmode. To control whether an <input> can be updated, but also still read and submitted, choose readonly over disabled. You can trigger the camera on mobile devices using capture. Use the spellcheck attribtue to control whether spellchecking is activated on an input, and remember to set it to "false" on sensitive inputs. Save users time by using autocapitalize to control the capitalisation of text in an input. And finally, use autocomplete to help the browser fill in the contents of an input and save your users typing.

This template is opinionated and intended as a starting point for those who want to define how accessibility is dealt with in their company. It does not matter whether your title is developer, designer, project manager or something else.

The title attribute is not particularly accessible.

The <dl>, or description list, element is underrated.

It's used to represent a list of name–value pairs. This is a common UI pattern that, at the same time, is incredibly versatile. For instance, you've probably seen these layouts out in the wild…

<dl>
    <dt>Title</dt>
    <dd>Designing with Web Standards</dd>
    <dt>Publisher</dt>

I use reverse-i-search often, and that's cool. Sometime though when pressing Ctrl+r multiple times, I pass the command I am actually looking for. Because Ctrl+r searches backward in history, from n...

The one-sentence answer: Run stty -ixon in your terminal, and then use Ctrl+S to change the search direction from backward to forward.

Most software is bad. I neither know why, nor how to solve the problem. Instead, the best I have to offer is a technique to keep the badness away for a while: friction logs.Friction logs are what they sound: a detailed log of everything that caused friction when using a product. This post teaches you how to make one. I recommend you to make one if:

sshx lets you share your terminal with anyone by link, on a multiplayer infinite canvas.

It has real-time collaboration, with remote cursors and chat. It's also fast and end-to-end encrypted, with a lightweight server written in Rust.

Install sshx with a single command. Use it for teaching, debugging, or cloud access.

CSS Grid is an incredibly powerful tool for building layouts on the web, but like all powerful tools, there's a significant learning curve. In this tutorial, we'll build a mental model for how CSS Grid works and how we can use it effectively. I'll share the biggest 💡 lightbulb moments I've had in my own learning journey.

This box of 600+ specimen cards holds a complete snapshot of the last metal type foundries in Germany.

Produced 1958–1971, the Schriftenkartei (Typeface Index) represents the final effort to catalog all the country’s typefaces in production at the time. The cards are useful for researchers and designers as they share a common format and show complete glyph sets. Thanks to Michael Wörgötter, a set of these cards is now in our collection, and his high-res scans are online.

In this video we're making a really cool workbench that hides a whole bunch of tools under the table when you don’t need them but rotates and/or flips them up to the top when you do need them!

Would make a great chipset!

Brushing a silky smooth finish on woodwork takes patience and attention to detail. We'll show you how to use the techniques that pros use to paint wood.

For dents and chips deeper than about 1/8-in., use a two-part polyester resin. It sticks well, doesn’t shrink and sands easily. It’s also the best material for rebuilding chipped corners. Auto body fillers also work well.

Sand the painted surface with 100- or 120-grit sandpaper or a medium sanding sponge. Then, finish-sand with 180-grit sandpaper or a fine sanding sponge. Spot-prime the filler and any bare wood with a latex primer.

We recommend you use an additive that slows the drying process and helps the paint lie smooth. (Floetrol is one common choice.)

Quickly coat an area with several brush loads of paint, and then blend and smooth it out by lightly running the unloaded brush tip over it (called “tipping”). Try to coat a whole board or section, but don’t let the paint sit more than a minute before tipping.

Get the answers to all your bird feeding questions.

• Sunflower Seed
  Black-oil sunflower seeds are more popular with birds than black striped due to the softer shell.

• Nyjer Seed
  It is popular with smaller finches,

• Mixed Seed
  Mixed seed often has a large percent of undesirable food, which many birds will simply toss on the ground to get at sunflower seeds and other preferred foods. This can result in a lot of waste, as well as a build-up of rotting seed under the feeder.

All feeders should be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis (every 2 weeks) with a solution of one part bleach to nine parts water.

Why is it that the miters sometimes looks awful even though you've done everything to the book? This might be the answer your looking for.

Dial Gauge: https://shorturl.at/lKVZ6

Cut the miters using the digital level cube and set the angle to 44.9º so there will be a very small gap at the back.

Goods for the Study is a stationery store in New York City. Their website tells me they have two locations. I visited the “West Village” shop at 50 West 8th Street in late 2022.

Since my last post about shiki was really long and described a really deep way on how to use and modify shiki, this is the complete opposite. This shows just short and simple how to use shiki in your eleventy (11ty) project.
