Wow, check this out - text that seems to write itself. Pretty awesome :

codepen.io/ghep.../pen/xnezB

Got the code working as well and can now animate writing for pretty much any font with Inkscape.



It's a bit of a learning curve again but this sort of svg animation (supported IE9+) is quite excellent.

Made my own scribble on Codepen as well, after noticing CSS animation was having difficulties on IE.
This version's based on jQuery animate so should be have broad browser support.

Didn't realise so many people were browsing that site, 700 views in a day.

More coding fun - and some Inkscape creativity :

codepen.io/Shik...pen/yyLEBp

A first CSS 3D transformation experiment - shadows originally look the same as the other text but are then rotated around the x-axis (in 3D space perspective), stretched and blurred (the latter only if you're not using IE) :

codepen.io/Shik...pen/RNPRBL



Pretty great stuff, CSS3...
The jQuery fun part is that any text can be directly created by changing a single variable at the top of the script.

Not to blow my own horn or anything but this one turned out quite spectacular. Comes down to png images (the outer particles) being guided along a vector path (the ellipses, created with Inkscape) to resemble orbit.

Hey guys,

Some feedback on this one would be great.
I'm trying to make a lightweight jQuery draggable plugin that is compatible with touch events as well.
But not having a similar gadget, I can't check if it works.
So if anyone has an Android or iOS tablet, could you check if the square can be dragged around?

I don't think Codepen works very well on mobile (yet), otherwise that would have been interesting too.
Thanks in advance.

Tested (and working) on Windows Phone and iPad.

The ultimate page magnifier - got nice tricks to it :

Definitely worth a look!

Ever spent way too much time searching for what font is used exactly (on a scanned object for example)?
Might be worth trying this one first when the next time comes :

Gave my main domain site a pretty good overhaul :

ataredo.com

Swipe and instantaneous mousewheel scroll are coded for navigation. Plus some other neat tricks...



Oh yeah, completely responsive to all screen size (which seems to be the thing these days).
