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 . I wondered how to accomplish such "background sharing across multiple elements" effect at HTML/CSS without any coordinates processing by JavaScript. This page is result of my research by this topic. Check original Xonom and notice how background gradient shares across multiple elements.

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. 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.
