    Any particular reason behind using serifs?

    The cool thing about the Star Citizen website is all those chevrons and glowy effects are all built with pure CSS, whereas I think most people would expect they used images.

    Hate to say it but the type at that weight is just too hard to read. The weight needs to be bumped up, or the images below need to be doctored.

    Why is everyone is building tools that do the same thing? This is certainly not the only website out that there lets you preview a responsive design.

    What does this offer that the responsive mode in Chrome dev tools doesn't?

    The CSS for the loading spinner module is a good example of why I don't like BEM and being too religious about standards. Why are there such complex classnames for each dot inside the spinner? Even worse, .spinner is too generic name for a class to wrap the whole thing, and it don't even spin.

  • Posted to CSS animate color via keyframes comparison, in reply to Brian Zelip , Aug 16, 2014

    I'm not entirely sure myself, but it has something to do with showing how color transitions become smoother when the number of keyframes is increased.

    It's supposed to go from red to blue and back to red. The first few examples aren't doing a good job of animating, adding more keyframes makes it so the animation actually hits all the colors in between red and blue...

    I think?

    Cool stuff. I think you should just use

    s or , seeing as how this element doesn't actually contain any content, it doesn't make sense for it to be a
      .

    Here's a polyfill for HTML5 placeholders: https://github.com/ginader/HTML5-placeholder-polyfill

    I don't think these scripts use , they just make the placeholders work as if the browser supported them.
