As I’ve been rebuilding my social network from the ground up recently, I’ve been extremely mindful of the fact that 60% of my users are experiencing the site on a mobile device, specifically phones. Because of this, I’ve been attempting to craft a user interface that functions nearly identical on

I don’t claim to know all the things, and this post is definitely something that I’m pretty sure nearly everybody on the planet knew about but me. The problem I was attempting to solve recently is that I had a list and the left alignment of the multiple lined list

If you’ve ever used Bootstrap, you probably know that it’s pretty aggressive in it’s use of !important in it’s styles. At CrowdSync we love Bootstrap, having ditched Foundation for it, but the overzealous approach to !important does get in our way sometimes. Similar to our post earlier in the week,

Every once in a while you are faced with a scenario where the best course of action is to slap a <style /> block in the middle of your code. For us, it was that time we wanted to set an arbitrary width (selected by the user) on a component,

Got a new project I wanted to share with everyone, it’s called icons.less (or LESS Icons) and it’s available for immediate forking and use over at GitHub. The project itself stemmed from my own desire to have a set of social icons that were easy to customize for different websites

From the developer, Nick Justice: Anatomy is a light-weight and responsive front end framework that invokes rapid development. I don’t usually review anything on here, let alone a framework, but it’s also not often that I get to use something new that’s built in my backyard of Tampa, FL. As
