Going beyond pixels and (r)ems in CSS - Relative length units based on font

There are a lot of CSS units available at the moment and we mostly still rely on pixels and (r)ems for our sizing and fonts. I say it’s time to do a little freshening up. Instead of writing a list of which units are available in CSS that you can easily find on MDN as well, I thought I’d give some examples of where they could come in handy. I will create a mini-series out of this and for the first part, let’s start off with relative length units based on font.

CSS Relative colors

Before the relative color syntax you had to rely on CSS variables or even worse: JavaScript to modify the parameters of a color. Using the from keyword the browser can convert the originating color to different color spaces and change the color properties.

Deferrable Views, skeletons and named chunks in Angular

The most exciting feature of Angular 17 might be Deferrable Views. It makes it possible to lazy load specific Angular standalone components or show a placeholder as the component is loading. It seems like this feature should go well with Skeletons. Stay around to find out.

Reducing latency in AI Speech Synthesis

AI-powered speech synthesis is getting incredibly realistic. This opens up many possibilities to generate realistic audio based on the text you provide. Whilst relatively fast, the latency still isn’t low enough for “real-time synthesis”. Let’s optimise that!

Interacting with ChatGPT through Voice UI on the web

How can I improve the way someone interacts with ChatGPT? How can I make it feel more natural than a dreadful “chatbot”? Can I create something cool? Those were some of the questions I asked myself recently while starting a two-day hackathon at iO. I’ll take you through what I build, how, and most importantly, why.
