I've been lurking on here for a few months now, but after setting up my own instance, I think it's about time I actually started posting!So, let's start with an #introduction. I'm James Cocker, a...

After relying on Bootstrap (and before that, Foundation) as the basis for my websites, I've decided it's about time to look at building a site from scratch, i.e. sans CSS framework. 😬 #webdev#frontend#css

It’s pretty refreshing starting with just CSS that you’ve written yourself. Even if it is a bit more work to get the basic styles going. I suppose I’ll likely end up creating my own mini CSS framework...

I’ve largely been inspired by people such as @andy, Kevin Powell, @matuzo and @5t3ph to name a few. They’ve helped me realise the power of modern #CSS, and how frameworks are much less of a necessity...

Planning to use @andy's CUBE CSS to structure things for this project, as it has similarities with what I ended up *trying* to do with Bootstrap, e.g. using utilities first, and then only creating...

Sorted. A bottle of rubbing alcohol and 20 minutes of, erm, rubbing, later and the sticky rubber is all gone! Whoop, bring on that Cessna! #FlightSim

Ok, so I wimped out on going no-framework for this project, and ended up using #PicoCSS (prompted by a toot from @pixolin). I still plan to try and loosely follow CUBE CSS, using Pico CSS as the...

Just lost a day asking ChatGPT to make different Chrome extensions for me. On the plus side, I can now easily see at a glance how many web pages I visit each day! 🤔
