Hi, my name is Brecht De Ruyte,
Front-end developer
I'm a self-taught front-end developer and Google
Developer Expert located in Belgium with a passion for
UX and Design. After more than a decade working in tech,
I decided to start a little blog for documenting my
findings about HTML, CSS and JS with an eye on
accessibility and UX.
During the day, you can find me working at iO on a variety of projects. There are a lot of environments
I'm working in, the majority of them being Twig or React.
But my real niche will always be semantics and CSS, especially
now, with the ever fast updates in browser support. It's
a great time to be a front-end developer.
Is the sticky thing stuck? Is the snappy item snapped? A look at state queries in CSS
Oh, how I wanted to write this title for some time! I have Googled these questions before when working with sticky positioning and scroll snapping. It looks like we are finally getting an answer to these questions in the form of CSS state queries and I have been eagerly waiting to play around with this since CSS Day 2023. In this article, I want to show a few first impressions and demos I created with state queries in CSS and Scroll Snap events in JavaScript.
The CSS Working Group (CSSWG) has recently introduced changes to the anchor positioning spec in CSS. I've focused on anchoring in previous articles and to maintain accuracy, I will be updating an older article (just this once). This article will highlight the specific name changes and their corresponding Chrome release dates.
Photography is something I enjoyed for a long time.
It all began with capturing landscapes in Belgium. It truly opened my eyes to the beauty of nature that often lies right on our doorstep.
There's a calming effect to using a camera and experimenting with shutter speed and aperture. It's a form of personal therapy for me.
Most of the images are near my hometown Deinze.
A small city famous for its cycling near the Lys
river. I added some photos on this website as
sort of a "hobby corner". I will update them
from time to time here, as I kinda gave up on the "instagram thing" for photography.
