   CSS generator for a high-def glass effect▲420

   There are lots of glassmorphism generators out there, but I wanted to push the effect further! This project is the result of months of experimenting with CSS property layering and battling browser quirks. Cross-browser compatibility is actually the reason I rely on ::before and ::after pseudo-elements to build up the effect. Move the color/opacity to the main element, and you’ll get weird color bleed on the corners in Chrome. Move the texture, and it muddles the bevel’s specular highlight. Move the bevel, and it gets blurred out by the backdrop-filter. And so on! Layers include: *…

    CSS3 Animated Glowing Forms▲182

    I remember seeing the Dragon Labs Dragonfish Glowing Form Demo[1] when it first came out, and it always stuck in my head. They implement the effect by using a rather large background image and a mask image and move the background image around via Javascript. I was inspired and wanted to see how close I could get with CSS3. I recommend using a Webkit browser [and you can see an alternate version of the animation on Firefox 4].

    I want to share the tool I have been working on for almost a year. It takes a multi-frame Figma design and converts it to native HTML5. Then applies a preset animation to elements based on their type. The result is an animated HTML5 banner ad from a static Figma design, with each frame appearing in sequence and delivering the marketing message. For example: - Frame 1: Name the problem - Frame 2: Show your product - Frame 3: CTA or disclaimer You can process many sizes at once, such as 300x600 with 2 frames + 728x90 with 4 frames + 1080x1080 with only one frame. So all creatives are animated…
