Blender shortcuts
First published on
on css, html

I was reviewing a page that I have in Notion about Three.js, with bookmarks, links to articles, utilities, tools, repositories, etc, and found a good one about Blender shortcuts, some of them I didn’t know about (I mean, I’m just getting started in Blender anyways) like the Snap shortcuts or the Clear transform, and I wanted to share it here:

TIL #7: SVG Filters
First published on
on css, html, svg, effects, filters

SVG filters allow you to create complex visual effects directly within your SVG graphics using a variety of filter primitives. You can apply effects like blurring, color manipulation, and even custom distortions to your SVG elements.

<svg style="position: absolute; width: 0px; height: 0px; pointer-events: none;">
  <filter id="water-ripple">
    <feTurbulence
      type="fractalNoise"
      baseFrequency="0.05"
      numOctaves="2"
      result="ripple"
    >
      <animate
        attributeName="baseFrequency"
        dur="10s"
        values="0.02;0.05;0.02"
        repeatCount="indefinite"
      ></animate>
    </feTurbulence>
    <feDisplacementMap
      in="SourceGraphic"
      in2="ripple"
      scale="5"
    ></feDisplacementMap>
  </filter>
</svg>
.ripple-text {
  font-size: clamp(2rem, 4vw, 3rem);
  font-weight: bold;
  text-align: center;
  filter: url(#water-ripple);
}

Using 100vw is now scrollbar-aware (in Chrome 145+, under the right conditions)
First published on
on css, html

From Chrome 145 onwards, 100vw will automatically subtract the size of the (vertical) scrollbar from it if you have forced the html element to always show a vertical scrollbar (using overflow[-y]: scroll) or if you reserve space for it (using scrollbar-gutter: stable).
