There's a new CSS property available that I'm pretty excited about. Traditionally, if you wanted to size an image to be widescreen, you'd have to do some math on your own.

Animating in a circular fashion with CSS and ReactJS
If you haven't seen, at the start of COVID I created this neat little virtual happy hour app. I got to the point where I wanted to start spicing up the interface some (still a long way to go).

This is Part 4 of my series on 'My Users Don't Like SharePoint...' "Can you make it not look like SharePoint?" Sorry, I can't use the Mustang metaphor on this one, it's too beautiful. SharePoint can be a little rough to stare at day after day. It's basic, and a little boring. The 2010 interface... Continue Reading →
