What it does

Multiple.js - An experiment in sharing background across multiple elements using CSS

Surfing over dribbble I stumbled upon a ' data-position="bottom center">Xonom design by Cosmin Daniel Capitanu .

Check original Xonom and notice how background gradient shares across multiple elements. Note that icons and text at lighter layers have gradient-color from darker layers, creating the illusion of underlying violet layer. In addition to that, layers pass background image (girl) with equal transparency so that layers can not be superimposed on each other. All this things can be…from multiple.js.org

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
