In a short series of articles, I’m going to spend some time in detailed unpacking of Flexbox — in the same way I have done in the past with grid. We’ll have a look at the things Flexbox was designed for, what it really does well, and why we might not choose it as a layout method. In this article, we will take a detailed look at what actually happens when you add display: flex to your stylesheet.

The Responsive Website Font Size Guidelines (Updated for 2018) – Learn UI Design

Use a text input font size of at least 16px. If your text inputs have a smaller font size than that, iOS browsers will zoom in on the left side of the text input, often obscuring the right side and forcing the user to manually zoom out after using the text box.

When picking a base size for a desktop website or web app, you can break down most designs into one of two types:

Text-heavy pages. Articles, blogs, news, etc. These are pages where the primary purpose the user has on the page is to read. There is very little in terms of interaction – perhaps just clicking a few links.
Interaction-heavy pages. Apps that involve more hovering, clicking, searching for an item in a list or table, editing, typing, etc. There may be plenty of text on the page, but it’s not stuff you read straight through like a book.

Perl Advent Calendar 2017 - Mojolicious on the Command Line

Mojolicious provides a utility class, ojo, that allows us to leverage the power of Mojolicious from the command line:

perl -Mojo -E 'say g("http://goo.gl/EsGk3b")->text'

The -M flag tells perl to load the following module, so -Mojo, despite looking like a super secret Mojo flag to perl actually is a cheeky way of saying use ojo.

ojo provides a whole host of single letter functions that are shortcuts to Mojolicious utilities, allowing you to quickly do things like fetching urls, reading and writing files, encoding and decoding json, manipulating data structures and a whole host more.

Curious About Color Mixing? Here Are the Basics You Need to Know

  • Add a dark pigment to light colors.
  • When darkening a color, avoid using black. To create a more nuanced color, try adding ultramarine blue or burnt umber instead.
  • Skip using black altogether. Mix them in equal parts to make a rich, beautiful black. When mixed with white, it makes a great gray.
  • To make a color look “cool,” add blue. To make it appear warmer, try incorporating yellows or reds.
  • Play around with color mixing without using any paint—thanks to this website. Try Colors
  • Mix your colors a little lighter than you want them to dry.
