Working in iterations

I’m redesigning this site bit by bit, which you can read about. This is just a temporary UI. Sorry for any jank!

    Now, before I bring up this next thing, assume I'm checking to make sure nobody is watching us, lowering my tone, maybe imploring you to "be cool about this:" Boolean() isn't the only game in town for manually coercing a value to its corresponding boolean value; in fact, it isn't even the most common one, in my experience. By using the not (!) operator twice before a value, the first ! will coerce that value to its implicit boolean value and flip it, then the second ! flips that to the boolean form of the original value:

  • one thing that's always put me off making a CSS library/framework over a methodology is I don't want to create problems for people with my way of doing things.

  • It’s really important to work HTML, CSS and JS first in the planning of this navigation course. Sure there’s sketching going on, but the most useful wireframes for us are going to be the real deal, in the browser.

    Several viewports in the Polypane browser, ranging from very small mobile-like up to a laptop-like one, being clipped by the end of the window. All show a wireframe of two navigation patterns, breaking down as the viewports shrink.&10;
