Cool Links Vol. 7: January, 2025

Hey there! I hope your 2025 has started on a high note. What about some cool links to read during this weekend?

Fun

Henry Desroches' Website

Henry's personal website is absolutely stunning! It has an unique design that is, above all, fun to explore. I miss exploring websites, instead of being guided through them.

Stimulation Clicker, by Neal Agarwal

Most of what Neal makes is pure gold and this is no exception. This game is no different than most of what you can find on your App Store, it’s just more honest about it…

Balancing Text In CSS, by Ahmad Shadeed

Incredible article that not only explains the new-ish text-wrap: balance and text-wrap: pretty CSS properties in-depth, it also goes into the caveats those properties have. It's well-written, well illustrated, and interactive. What else could you want?

Overflow Clip, by Ahmad Shadeed

Ahmad once again writing the articles I wish I did. Another well-written and interactive article going in-depth on the also new-ish overflow: clip CSS property. clip has helped me implement designs more than once and it's so nice to have something that works just like I always expected overflow: hidden to work.

Wrapping up

This month was also a bit short on links as I have been mostly focused on work rather than learning. Here's hoping I can get back to finding more good links soon! 🤞
