If you ever have needed to use the requestAnimationFrame API in an async method where you wait for an animation frame before executing additional logic, the callback nature of it might get annoying. With a super small wrapper, you can make a function that returns a promise instead!

Emmet support for JSX is somewhat limited in Neovim as it is not able to easily distinguish between when it should provide JSX completions in render methods or CSS completions in styled components or similar CSS-in-JS libraries. If you only care about CSS completions and you are okay with a few config changes, you can make it work pretty easily with an entry_filter for your completions.

Have you ever added a scrollbar to a rounded container just to realize that the scrollbar looks ugly and square? Thankfully, the solution is pretty simple with just an extra div.

CSS has a relative new feature for building relative colors based on a source color. This allows you to make small changes to a color value without fully redefining it. One interesting use case for this syntax is changing the opacity of hex colors.

Ever wanted to run a super simple timer directly from the command line? Oh, you haven't? Well, you can still read this anyway since you might learn something 😂.

The sr-only class is a common convention for visually hiding an element while keeping it visible to screen readers. If not implemented properly though, it can cause some unexpected overflow due to absolute positioning.

In a recent side project I came upon the need to securely store credentials in a database that I can later retrieve and use as part of the application. I know that Node.js has a very extensive crypto module, so I knew it was possible, though I wasn't sure on the specifics.

I've been using Go a bit more lately for a side project I'm working on and I ran into a few instances where I needed to do use type assertions for some fairly flexible interfaces. While I could easily do what I needed to, it still feels weird.

Netlify has support for creating redirects and rewrites using the _redirects file syntax. Borrowing from an idea I saw from Kent C. Dodds and @caarlos0, I built a script to make it easy to create short links for my website or other sites that I can then access via my newly minted go.mskelton.dev subdomain.

I recently started using a tool called Zoxide from a friend's recommendation and I must say, it's pretty awesome. Zoxide is a smarter cd command that tracks your most used directories and allows you to jump to them with ease.
