24 alternatives to My imageless one page website, thanks to CSS3
I recently rebuilt my website as digital business card, which serves a simple purpose: Say hello, then point people in the direction of the places I inhabit on the web. At the time I was playing around with the HTML5 boilerplate and Google web fonts, and it inspried me to try to implement the logos of the sites I link to with CSS rather than images. You can view it at: http://colin-gourlay.com/ You'll need a modern browser to see the effects in action, but if you're still using IE6/7/8,I hope you can still appreciate the degraded appearance! Is it effective? Are CSS + custom fonts not quite…

Do you remember the internet of the early 2000s? Neat single function websites that let you be creative and customize your spaces and weren't setting out to be the next major conglomerate (or to be bought by them). I'm building a series of websites that have simple concepts but too many of the players have tried to make their product so big. I also used to live in a very rural area so my goal is to make websites that load fast even on very slow internet. I'm starting with Lynx.boo. A linktree style website that lets you fully customize your CSS (and adds a bunch of classes to your links to…

Hello HN, I've used a lot of image converter websites to run for my daily jobs, but they required uploading my assets on their servers which I didn't like. I decided to build it myself and publish as a website for everyone to use at no cost (since the conversion happened on your browsers) I'd live to hear your thoughts about it. Cheers,

I really wanted to move my automation server project to a proper framework instead of the current ad hoc nightmare of inline CSS and redundant classes... But nothing seemed quite right. None of them seem suitable for deep restyling without changing markup. So, I took all the good parts of my current CSS, replaced the bad parts with things I liked from the most popular frameworks, then extracted it as a standalone library. The whole thing is 17.5kb, without minifying or removing comments. It starts with classless styles for semantic html. There is a very small set of about 5 components(The…

I geek out on any UI from the 2000s, so I built my personal site to look and feel like Windows XP. Made this two years ago to get better at React. My goal was to fool my dad into thinking he was actually using Windows XP and it seemed to work. No mobile version (yet) :( If you think it's cool you can check out the somewhat outdated code: https://github.com/SohailSayed/winxp-personal-website

Hi, I'm learning to keep things simple. I'm on startup no. 2 and have just put up a sign-up and twitter page. For the twitter page I needed a profile pic or logo of some sort so I've hacked together a little logo using unicode characters. Have a look: https://twitter.com/#!/TheSuperOwl I think it looks quite cute, it's a temporary thing until we get a designer on board. The 2 founders are not designers (product person & developer) so we don't want this to hold us back with getting things going. It's quite fun - I think we can play around with the unicode characters in the meantime. For…

GIF.new▲18i use GIFs a lot in my personal/professional life and so I'm pretty passionate about the topic :P about a month ago I found out that this domain was available and couldn't believe it. Waited a good 3 weeks to pull the trigger on buying it (which, btw is hella expensive by default) and in the meantime, hopped from one idea to another on what it should house. original idea was to build some kind of prompt-to-GIF service but very soon realised that i can't sustain the AI bill on my budget (top contender was to use runway). then came the idea of animating charts from data (obvious: i work…

I recently built a new template for my rather basic WordPress blog. I wanted to avoid using px units wherever possible, so that I could have a design that would scale uniformly across multiple device resolutions. It started as an experiment, to see how far I could get without px units. The more I learned, the more excited my campaign to eliminate px from the stylesheet. I ended up eliminating px units entirely. Everything is sized with vw units (relative to the width of the viewport). The last remaining px units were sizing standard Facebook and Twitter buttons. I got frustrated by not being…
