CSS Trick 🫠 You can create gooey effects with filter using CSS or SVG if you want color 🎨 .blobs { filter: blur(20px) contrast(30); } .blobs { filter: url(#goo); } The trick is to blur the thing, then cut the blur off with contrast. You can make some cool... effects with it ✨ The CSS approach is basic and limits you to black and white. You need to blur the subject and then use contrast to lessen the blur. .blobs { filter: blur(20px) contrast(30); } The SVG approach gives you a lot more freedom. That looks like a lot 😬 What the filter does is take some source and pipe it through different effects. At a high level, you're doing this: 1. Blur the subject with standard deviation "stdDeviation" 2. Mess with the alpha channel values inside feColorMatrix to get the contrast 3. Composite the effects Good thing with SVG filters is you can rinse and repeat and use them on other things 🤙 Have a play with the demo and check out the DevTools where you can see the effects of using different values CodePen.IO link below! 👇show more

Here's that @CodePen link! 🚀 Really worth messing with the values in DevTools and seeing what a difference it makes and the kind of effects you can create 🤓

Robert McGovern2 years ago

Neat effect, made me wonder if could be used for a CSS Lava lamp On off chance searched Codepen and guess who was the top hit

jhey ▲🐻🎈2 years ago

Haha 😅 That one could probably do with a revisit at some point. Funny because these trends go round in cycles. Have a bunch of "Gooey" filter demos from the first time I saw SVG filters which would be wayyyy back now 🥲

Maybe with some kind of filter you even can create other colors. Not sure yet why the second bubble isnt showing.

jhey ▲🐻🎈2 years ago

Exactly that! 🤙 People tend to reach for the SVG filter for ease of use. Like that use of sepia and then the hue-rotate to finish. If you reduce the blur on the level up, it should come back 🤞

Álvaro Montoro2 years ago

It's not limited to black and white in CSS. It works with other colors too, which also makes it easier to generate other colors by applying additional filters like sepia() and hue-rotate().

jhey ▲🐻🎈2 years ago

Not "limited" but it is in the sense that you can't just use "background-color" which is what most people would want to use to change color.

Right?! Love that demo by the way, when they merge it reminds me of Dr. Mario 😅

$CSS Tip! 🤙 You can use mask-composite and some JavaScript to create this pointer proximity following glow border ✨ .glow { mask-composite: intersect; mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask: linear-gradient(#0000, #0000), conic-gradient(#0000 0deg, #fff, #0000 45deg); } The trick is to mask a background-image with a combination of mask layers. mask-composite: intersect; means the mask used will be the intersection of the layers 🔥 use source-in, xor; in browsers that don't support intersect; In this demo, you can use pseudoelements and rely on scoped custom properties to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you 🙌 Once you've masked the background, you need to update the starting angle of the conic-gradient on pointermove 👆 You can work that out by getting the center point of each card and then calculating the angle between that and the pointer with Math.atan2 🤓 let ANGLE = Math.atan2( event?.y - CARD_CENTER[1], event?.x - CARD_CENTER[0] ) * 180 / Math.PI ANGLE = ANGLE < 0 ? ANGLE + 360 : ANGLE; CARD.style.setProperty('--start', ANGLE + 90) You plug that into your conic-gradient mask as a custom property accounting for --spread ⚡️ conic-gradient(from calc((var(--angle) - (var(--spread) * 0.5)) * 1deg), #000 0deg, #fff, #0000 calc(var(--spread) * 1deg)); To get the blur, you apply a blur to the glow container on each card 🤙 .glows { filter: blur(calc(var(--blur) * 1px); } That's it! Layers of masks that are clipped and composited before being blurred 😎 The added trick is to fade each one in when the pointer is in the defined proximity of the card. For example, don't show unless within 100px of a card. You can see that in the video. Check out the JavaScript code for that 🫶 Couldn't resist making this one 😁 CodePen.IO link below! 👇$

🟢Substance Painter Tip: The Passthrough blend mode in combination with the Smudge tool lets you adjust generated/filter results in a non-destructive way. E.g.: The Blur filter operates in 2D space, which can cause visible seams at the UV island borders. A fix for that is to add Paint above the Blur and use the Passthrough blend mode. Passthrough allows you to smudge the output below it. Works the same for standard layers!

CSS Tip! 💪 You can create these tab controls with CSS :has() + radio buttons ✨ .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(3)) { --count: 3; } .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(3)) { --active: 2; } .tabs::after { translate: calc(var(--active, 0) * 100%) 0; width: calc(100% / var(--count)); } Two CSS :has() tricks here combined with a rendering trick 🤙 The tab control is a container using display: grid. You can use :has() to count the number of tabs in the container: .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(3)) { --count: 3; } .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(4)) { --count: 4; } Using the cascade, the last valid :has() gives you the number of tabs 🫶 Once you know the number of tabs, you know how to size the indicator: .tabs::after { content: ""; position: absolute; height: 100%; width: calc(100% / var(--count)); } It's a pseudoelement that uses --count to determine its size 📏 The next :has() trick is determining which tab is active or :checked as it's an input [type=radio] .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(2)) { --active: 1; } .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(3)) { --active: 2; } You can use a zero-indexed translation here. If the second input is :checked, set --active: 1, then translate the pseudoelement on the tabs to that position 👉 .tabs::after { translate: calc(var(--active, 0) * 100%) 0; } The last rendering trick is using mix-blend-mode 👀 The tabs have a black background-color, the pseudoelement is white, and the label text is white. When you use mix-blend-mode: difference on the pseudoelement it will give this effect that the text transitions from white to black sliding across 😎 .tabs::after { color: hsl(0 0% 100%); mix-blend-mode: difference; } You can totally mix up the colors here though and go with a different effect. The mechanics of how you can use CSS :has() is the main point here 🙏 As always, any questions, suggestions, etc. let me know CodePen.IO link below! 👇 (There's even a Tailwind CSS play for this one too 👀)

CSS Trick 📜 You can trigger text highlights on scroll with scroll-driven animations 😎 mark { animation: highlight; animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes highlight { to { --lit: 1; }} mark span { background-position: calc(var(--lit) * -110%) 0; transition: background 1s; } The trick is using a scroll-driven animation to flip a custom property on a element 🎚️ You flip the value between 0 and 1, and that transitions the background position of the element mark { --lit: 0; animation: highlight steps(1) both; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: entry 100% cover 10%; } The background has to be applied on a child of the mark to see the change in the custom property 👀 mark span { background: linear-gradient( 120deg, yellow 50%, transparent 50%) 110% 0 / 220% 100% no-repeat; background-position: calc(var(--lit) * 110%) 0; transition: background-position 1s; } The trick is to set the background-size so that it's bigger than the element and then split the background-color in the middle using a linear-gradient 🤙 And the property flips fills in the color 🫶 That's it!

$CSS Tip! 💫 You can create this responsive perspective warp animation with 3D CSS and container queries ✨ (Video reveals trick 👀) .warp { container-type: size; perspective: 100px; transform-style: preserve-3d; resize: both; overflow: hidden; } Couple of tricks in this one 🤓 The main idea is to create a tunnel (an open-ended cube). On each side of the tunnel, use linear-gradient to create the grid lines ✨ .side { background: linear-gradient(#fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 0 / 5% 5%, linear-gradient(90deg, #fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 50% / 5% 5%; } To position each side, you rotate on the x-axis by 90deg. Each side would become invisible at this point. So you give the scene perspective 😉 .warp__side--top { width: 100cqi; height: 100cqmax; transform-origin: 50% 0%; transform: rotateX(-90deg); } The cool part here is that you want to make each side the same height. But the container is responsive. So you can use a container query and make sure each side is 100cqmax tall 🫶 Then the "beams". Each side contains "beams". They have different colors, sizes, and positions, and move at different speeds ⚡️ We can control that through scoped custom properties. .beam { width: 5%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 5%); aspect-ratio: 1 / 2; background: linear-gradient( hsl(var(--hue) 80% 60%), transparent ); translate: 0 100%; animation: warp calc(var(--speed, 0) * 1s) calc(var(--delay, 0) * -1s) infinite linear; } The magic here is though that a beam's animation is as basic as translating it from the top of the side to the bottom. And you can get that distance with a container query again 🔥 @keyframes warp { 0% { translate: -50% 100cqmax; } 100% { translate: -50% -100%; } } And that is pretty much it!

CSS Tip! ✨ You can create icon sprite animations using the steps() animation-timing function 🤙 You could use this to create little icon button animations, etc. 😎 But how do you do it? Like this 👇 button img { object-fit: cover; object-position: 0 0; } The image is a sprite strip of the frames in the animation. To animate the frames, you do something like this: [aria-pressed=true] img { animation: play 0.5s steps(20) forwards; } @ keyframes play { to { object-position: 100% 0; } } We are toggling aria-pressed in our scripts to show a pressed state and we can then fire the animation to play our sprite 🎉 Check out the video that breaks things down a little bit CodePen.IO link blow! 👇

CSS Trick! 🤙 You can create gradient borders on translucent elements using mask-clip and mask-composite with a pseudo-element 🔥 .gradient-border::after { mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); } It's the same "Transparent border trick" from before. But, now you apply it to a pseudo-element 😎 The trick is to create a pseudo-element with a gradient background and then mask it so we only see the part we want, the border ✨ mask-clip defines the area affected by a mask. Similar to how you can define background-size. Using padding-box and border-box constrains the two masks. mask-composite is the magic part ✨ It defines a compositing operation for stacked mask layers. Using intersect means that the parts that overlap get replaced. And this seems to work in all browsers 🙌 As for the rest of the styles... – Make sure you set pointer-events: none on the pseudo-element – Make sure it fills the parent element. You can use position: absolute and inset: 0 – Make sure the background fills the space including the border-width. You can use calc to achieve that: --bg-size: calc(100% + (2px * var(--border))); background: var(--gradient) center center / var(--bg-size) var(--bg-size); That's it! 🚀 Gradient borders on translucent elements. You can set all the backdrop-filter: blur() you like! 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 📜 You can create scroll-driven micro-interactions with animation-timeline and custom properties 🔥 .search { animation: shrink; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 0 calc(var(--header-height) * 0.5); } @keyframes shrink { to { width: calc(100% - var(--button-size); } } The --header-height is being used to dictate the container height for the header. You can use that for the animation-range used across different scroll animations 🤙 For another example, you can animate the box-shadow reveal on the header once the search has stuck 🍡 header { animation: shadow; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: var(--header-height) calc(var(--header-height) * 1.5); } @keyframes shadow { to { box-shadow: 0 5px 10px hsl(0 0% 0%); } } Then you have the little extras! 🧸🎈 Everything powered by the scroll() animation-timeline which hooks into the page scroll. And then using the --header-height in the different animation-range ✨ Give it a try! ⭐️ CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick 🤙 You can use scroll-driven animations on the inline axis to create list animations like in these cards 🫶 article { animation: vibe; animation-timeline: view(inline); animation-range: cover 40% cover 60%; } @keyframes vibe { 50% { scale: 1; filter: grayscale(0); }} Here you use a view() timeline with the inline axis set inside the function. This means you can hook into the horizontal scroll position of an element inside its scroller 🙌 In this demo, you set a default smaller scale and make each card grayscale 🤏 article { scale: 0.8; filter: grayscale(1); } Then the animation happens as each card enters from the right at 0% and leaves to the left at 100% 🎞️ 50% is the halfway point and in your keyframes you make each card grow and saturate at that point before returning to its original state ✨ scroll-snap provides a nice look-and-feel here and on mobile 🫰 It's really as straightforward as that but made so much easier with a few lines of CSS 💙 For the parallax effect, you can animate a background-position on the card or the object-position on an img depending on what you go with 🤙 Lastly, you can use this today with progressive enhancement by wrapping your scroll-driven animation code in @supports and @media ⚡️ Users without support still get a decent experience!

CSS Trick ⚡️ (˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ challenge edition 🤙) You can create this secret code reveal with only CSS using :has() and trig functions 🔥 .digit::hover + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:hover) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } :root { --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); } .digit { scale: calc(var(--active) + 0.5); } There are a couple of moving parts. The first thing we can do is set up a scale. :root { --lerp-0: 1; /* === sin(90deg) */ --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); --lerp-2: calc(sin(45deg)); --lerp-3: calc(sin(35deg)); --lerp-4: calc(sin(25deg)); --lerp-5: calc(sin(15deg)); } The digit styles define scale and blur. They also dictate the transition duration .digit { transition: scale calc(((1 - var(--active, 0)) + 0.2) * 1s); } When a digit is hovered, then you can set the --active custom property based on the digit position 🤙 The digit that is hovered. .digit:hover { --active: var(--lerp-0); } And the digit on either side of that hovered digit .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible) + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible)) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } We can select the previous sibling using :has() and the next sibling with the sibling combinator (+) And that's it! ⭐️ That's how you create these hover scale interactions with CSS 🙌 We're jus' waiting on Firefox for :has() support.

Today: a 1.5 hour interview with the co-founders of Coherence Neuro: Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins They are, as far as i can tell, the only (neurotechnology x oncology) startup that exists today. 'Neurotechnology? For cancer?' you may ask. Yes! As it turns out, tumors interact with the nervous system a fair bit, and you can use the very same neuromodulation toolbox that exists for neuropsychiatric conditions, for monitoring and treating cancer. Coherence has built an invasive device to place at the site of a tumor to do exactly this. Their first indication is a form of brain cancer called glioblastoma; one of the most fatal subtypes of cancer to exist today. The standard of care (with one exception that we discuss) has not changed in 25 years. If Coherence works out, and there is a very real chance they will, that may change. Most interesting of all is that Coherence believes that the bioelectric properties of cancer are not just worth poking at for brain cancers, but for all cancers. And maybe even for diseases outside of it! This conversation covers how Coherence’s first neurotech device (SOMA) works, the molecular reasons behind why neuromodulation affects cancer at all, what the biomarker readouts look like, the obvious Michael Levin comparison, and a lot more. Also: shout to Nicole for setting up the connection here in the first place!

CSS Tip 🤙 You can create this header effect using position: sticky, clip-path, and custom properties 🔥 (Video 👀) header { position: sticky; top: var(--margin); } main { clip-path: inset(var(--header) 0 0 0);) } No mix-blend-mode or animations required ✨ What's the trick then? 🧐 Duplicate the header element first.
