These pictures really capture the vibe of this year’s lovely UX London event.
TimeGuessr
Where and when were these photographs taken?
It’s like that Chronophoto game I linked to with an added dimension of location.
On Container Queries, Responsive Images, and JPEG-XL – Cloud Four
Container queries can’t be used in the sizes attribute for responsive images. Here, Jason breaks down why that is (spoiler: it’s the lookahead pre-parser) and segues into a truly long term solution: a “magical” image format.
If you’ve ever thought it felt weird to put media conditions inside the HTML for responsive images, this will resonate.
Chronophoto - The Photographical History Game
This is a fun game—with the same kind of appeal as that Wiki History Game I linked to—where you have to locate photographs in time.
dConstruct 2022 – Photos by Marc Thiele
Marc very kindly took loads of pictures at dConstruct on Friday—lovely!
Picture perfect images with the modern img element - Stack Overflow Blog
Addy takes a deep dive into making sure your images are performant. There’s a lot to cover here—that’s why I ended up splitting it in two for the responsive design course: one module on responsive images and one on the picture element.
Awesome astrophotography from the South Downs | Science | The Guardian
To mark the start of the Dark Skies Festival today, here are some fantastic photographics taken not that far from Brighton.
Same Energy Snap
Match up images that have been posted in pairs to Twitter with the caption “same energy”. This is more fun and addictive than it has any right to be.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture | Typeset In The Future
The latest edition in this wonderful series of science-fictional typography has some truly twisty turbolift tangents.
CSS folded poster effect
This is a very nifty use of CSS gradients!
A Rare Smile Captured in a 19th Century Photograph | Open Culture
I wrote a while back about one of my favourite photographs but this might just give it a run for its money.
It was only near the end of the 19th century that shutter speeds improved, as did emulsions, meaning that spontaneous moments could be captured. Still, smiling was not part of many cultures. It could be seen as unseemly or undignified, and many people rarely sat for photos anyway.
A Guide to the Responsive Images Syntax in HTML | CSS-Tricks
Chris has put together one of his indispensable deep dives, this time into responsive images. I can see myself referring back to this when I need to be reminded of the syntax of srcset and sizes.
The beauty of progressive enhancement - Manuel Matuzović
Progressive Enhancement allows us to use the latest and greatest features HTML, CSS and JavaScript offer us, by providing a basic, but robust foundation for all.
Some great practical examples of progressive enhancement on one website:
- using grid layout in CSS,
- using
type="module"to enhance a form with JavaScript, - using the
pictureelement to providewebpimages in HTML.
All of those enhancements work great in modern browsers, but the underlying functionality is still available to a browser like Opera Mini on a feature phone.
Responsive Images the Simple Way - Cloud Four
A nice succint explanation of using the srcset and sizes attributes on the img element—remember, you probably don’t need picture and source elements if your use case is swapping out different sized versions of the same image.
One caveat thought: you do need to know the dimensions of the images. If you’re dealing with unknown or user-generated photos, that can be an issue.
