CSS Image Stack Animation

Color Mixing With Animation Composition

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/color-mixing-with-animation-composition/

Color Mixing With Animation Composition

Mixing colors in CSS is pretty much a solved deal, thanks to the more recent color-mix() function as it gains support. Pass in two color values — any two color values at all — and optionally set the proportions.

background-color: color-mix(#000 30%, #fff 70%);

We also have the relative color syntax that can manipulate colors from one color space to another and modify them from there. The preeminent use case being a way to add opacity to color values that don’t support it, such as named colors.

background-color: hsl(from black h s l); /* hsl(0 0% 0%) */ background-color: hsl(from black h s l / 50%); /* hsl(0 0% 0% / 50%) */

We can get hacky and overlay one opaque element with another, I suppose.

Same general idea maybe, but with mix-blend-mode?

Another roundabout way of getting there is something I saw this morning when looking over the updates that Ryan added to the animation property in the Almanac. Now, we all know that animation is shorthand for about a gajillion other properties (the order of which always eludes me). One of those is animation-composition and it’s used to… well, Ryan nails the explanation:

Defining a property in CSS also sets what is considered the underlying value of the property. By default, keyframe animations will ignore the underlying value, as they only consider the effect values defined within the animation. Keyframes create a stack of effect values, which determines the order in which the animation renders to the browser. Composite operations are how CSS handles the underlying effect combined with the keyframe effect value.

Manuel Matuzović and Robin Rendle also have excellent ways of explaining the property, the former of which sparked us to update the Almanac.

OK! We have three values supported by animation-composition to replace the underlying property value in favor of the effect value defined in keyframes, add to them, or accumulate for combining multiple values. The add value is what’s interesting to us because… oh gosh, let’s just let Ryan take it:

[I]nstead of replacing an underlying background-color property value with the keyframe’s effect value, the color type values are combined, creating new colors.

A-ha! The example goes like this:

See that? The add value blends the two colors as one transitions to the other. Notice, too, how much smoother that transition is than the replace value, although we wind up with a completely new color at the 100% mark rather than the color we declared in the keyframes. What if we pause the animation at some arbitrary point? Can we extract a new color value from it?

Ryan made this so that hovering on the elements pauses the animation. If we crack open DevTools and force the :hover pseudo on the element, maybe we can head over to the Computed tab to get the new color value.

Interestingly, we get some RGB conversions in there. Probably because updating color channels is easier than converting one hex to another? Browsers do smart stuff.

Now I want to go update my old color interpolation demo…

Hmm, not any different to my untrained eye. Maybe that’s only because we’re changing the HSL’s hue channel and it’s super subtle. Whatever the case, animation-composition can produce new computed color values. What you need those for and what you’d do with them? I dunno, but go wild.

🚀 Day 2: Understanding Angular Architecture 🛠️

Today, we're diving into the core of Angular: Modules, Components, and Services. Understanding these building blocks is crucial for mastering Angular development.

Day 1 - 100 Days CSS Challenge

Welcome to day 1 of the 100 Days CSS Challenge! In this challenge, we'll bring a design to life using only CSS. Our goal is to recreate the image we're provided with on the challenge page using HTML and CSS.

On the challenge page, we see:

A small preview of the design we need to replicate.

A starter HTML template.

A submission form to showcase our work alongside others who have taken on the same challenge.

Let's dive into the process step by step.

Step 1: Screenshot the Image

The first thing I always do is take a screenshot of the target design. Even if the design includes animation, having a static reference helps me focus on the basic structure and colors. Here’s the screenshot of the design we’re aiming for:

Step 2: Extract the Color Palette

Next, I identify the color palette that we'll need. This helps ensure that we maintain consistency with the original design. Here’s the color palette I’ve created:

Step 3: Identify and Create the Image Elements in HTML

Now that we know the colors, I break down the elements in the image:

Background: This is a linear gradient.

The 100 number: This is the main challenge, and it will require some work.

Text: “days css challenge,” which we’ll place to the left of the number.

Here’s the HTML structure for these elements:

<div class="frame"> <div class="center"> <div class="number"> <div class="one-one"></div> <div class="one-two"></div> <div class="zero-one"></div> <div class="zero-two"></div> </div> <p class="sentence1">days</p> <p class="sentence2">css challenge</p> </div> </div>

Now that the elements are in place, CSS will bring them to life.

Step 4: Bringing the Elements to Life with CSS

Linear Gradient

To create the background, we’ll use a linear gradient. Here’s a basic syntax:

background: linear-gradient(to <direction>, <color-stop1>, <color-stop2>, ...);

Parameter 1: Direction/Angle

This defines the starting point of the gradient. You can either specify a direction (e.g., to top, to bottom) or an angle (e.g., 90deg, 180deg).

Direction options:

to top

to bottom

to left

to right

If you want more precision, you can specify angles:

0deg: Gradient starts from the top.

90deg: From the right.

180deg: From the bottom.

270deg: From the left.

You can also combine two directions, specifying both horizontal and vertical movements, like to left top or to right bottom. This means:

The first keyword (left or right) controls the horizontal movement.

The second keyword (top or bottom) controls the vertical movement.

For example:

background: linear-gradient(to left top, red, blue);

This gradient starts at the bottom-right corner and transitions toward the top-left.

Parameter 2: Color Stops

Color stops define how the gradient transitions between colors. Each color stop specifies a point where a color starts or ends. Here's an example:

background: linear-gradient(to right, red 10%, blue 90%);

This means:

The element starts at 0% fully red.

By 10%, the transition from red begins.

Between 10% and 90%, there is a smooth blend from red to blue.

At 90%, the transition to blue is complete, and the remaining part is fully blue.

Once we understand the concept, we can apply the background we need. In our case, the gradient flows from the bottom left to the top right, so the code will look like this:

background: linear-gradient(to right top, #443DA1, #4EC3C9);

Bonus: Stacking Multiple Linear Gradients

You can also apply multiple gradients on top of each other:

background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f00, #0f0), linear-gradient(90deg, #ff0, #f0f);

Step 5: Making the "100" Number

Creating the Zeros

We start with the zeros. These are simply circles created using CSS. To make a full circle, we use border-radius set to 50%.

The white border gives it the appearance of the number zero.

.zero-one, .zero-two { position: absolute; height: 100px; width: 100px; border-radius: 50%; border: 24px solid #fff; box-shadow: 0 0 13px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); }

This gives us a nice circular zero. We adjust their positions using properties like left and top, and manage the z-index to make sure the zeros stack correctly.

.zero-one { z-index: 8; left: 17px; } .zero-two { z-index: 6; left: 100px; }

Now both zeros are positioned, and they overlap in the way we want.

Creating the "1" Number

The number "1" is made of two div elements:

One-One: This part represents the slanted part of the "1".

One-Two: This is the straight vertical part of the "1".

What make the one-one element slightly slanted is

transform: rotate(50deg);)

the one-two is created simply with a little height and width nothing too particular then it is placed directly on top of the slanted part, giving us the full "1". Its z-index tho has to have a higher value than the slanted part of our 1 to ensure it stays above the slanted one.

Step 6: Adding the Text

For the two sentences “days” and “css challenge,” the styling is basic CSS. You can achieve the look with just a few font changes, some padding, and adjustments to font size. It’s as simple as:

.sentence1,.sentence2{ text-transform: uppercase; margin:0; padding:0; } .sentence1{ font-size:82px; font-weight:700; } .sentence2{ font-size:25px; font-weight:700; margin-top:-20px; }

And just like that, we’ve completed day 1 of the 100 Days CSS Challenge! Each part of the design is carefully crafted using CSS, giving us the final result.

Happy coding, and see you tomorrow for Day 2!

hi!!! I loved ur hometsuck kids theme sm it made me want to go back into coding after so long(^^; I wanted to know how u learned it and if u have any tips for newcomers. Ty !!

oh holy shit this is ask is SO SWEET :,) thank you so much anon and i’m so happy to hear it made you want to get back into coding! we seriously need a tumblr theme renaissance. what i would give to see people coding and sharing/reblogging themes like the older days on tumblr. life could be dream.

i learned html and css from making my own tumblr themes as a kid! i think tumblr themes are literally such a good introduction into learning front-end development. BUT to be fair i also took a few programming classes and was a big coding nerd in school and that definitely helped me become a lot more comfortable with making themes from scratch and adding custom script. if you are interested in learning javascript, learnjavascript.online is a great source for starting out and getting some practice!

i think a great way to get your bearings is to look at some base themes and poke around at the code just to familiarize yourself with some of the tumblr-specific syntax. @theme-hunter has a great database of themes to look at with some tutorials for beginners compiled here. i think the best way to learn how div blocks function and what you are capable of changing is by playing around with preexisting code and seeing what you can create. i did this until i was comfortable enough to make a few base themes of my own from scratch that i can go back and reference when starting a new theme or coding project.

tumblr also has a list of their block elements online with some introduction to custom themes, which is helpful to reference when styling the features built into each tumblr blog like title, descriptions, posts, notes, etc.

as far as tips for newcomers, here’s a few things top of mind:

google is your best friend, seriously, i can't tell you how many times i am googling the most rudimentary of things because i'm always forgetting little syntax things. chances are, if there's something you want to achieve with code there will be someone on stack overflow with some advice, or a tutorial on codepen or w3schools that you can use as reference.

troubleshoot with inspect element! i usually build my code straight into the tumblr theme html and css on a sideblog, save, and then keep a tab of that blog open that i can refresh and inspect element to look for errors in the console. i think firefox works the best, but i would recommend always loading your blog in a few different browsers since there is css syntax that is specific to mozilla or chrome (eg. custom scrollbars or pure-css animations)

there are lot of browser extensions that can make the coding process easier! i recommend eye dropper for pulling and matching hex codes. i also use fonts ninja a lot for getting accurate weights and names for custom fonts. a few more that come to mind are window resizer and css viewer (chrome/mozilla) if you want to check those out!

happy coding!

good morning! i'm groggy but i made a to-do list for finishing up this stadium hue project for BMF. i'm thinking i should be able to finish it today or tomorrow depending on how i feel. i'm pretty excited, there's going to be multiple interactive things and a whole article and a massive image resource that did not previously exist. i'm going to be putting up like, 3-4 new pages at once haha. they're all related!

still tinkering away at the hue shift previewer is going to be the main thing, it needs a proper UI and a couple more features. i wish blue ho-oh was real...

just hue shifting these gifs on the site is more complicated than it appears since the built-in CSS hue slider uses a different method of hue sliding than the N64 and therefore is entirely inaccurate. as a result i have a system of the gifs being broken into vertically stacked spritesheets of their frames, which are continuously looped through to animate it on an HTML canvas. the hue shifting is done by editing the pixel-by-pixel HSL (hue/saturation/lightness) data of the spritesheet. it works great though!

Mobile App Development Secrets for 2025

In our hyper-connected world, mobile apps drive everything—from grabbing your morning coffee to handling your finances. Behind every amazing app lies a technology stack that not only powers great performance but also sets the stage for future growth. Whether you're starting with a minimum viable product (MVP) or mapping out a full-scale digital strategy, choosing the right development tools is critical.

What Are Mobile App Development Technologies?

Mobile app technologies include all the programming languages, frameworks, platforms, and tools used to build apps for your smartphone or tablet. Think of it like crafting your favorite recipe: you need the right ingredients to create something truly special. The choices you make here influence the development speed, cost, performance, and overall user experience of your app.

Native vs. Cross-Platform Development: Finding Your Fit

One of the biggest early choices is whether to go native or cross-platform. Let’s break it down:

Native Mobile App Development

Native apps are developed specifically for one platform—either iOS or Android, using platform-centric languages (Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android). This approach offers best-in-class performance, smoother integration with device hardware, and top-tier user experiences.

Pros:

Best performance

Full access to device features (think camera, GPS, etc.)

Seamless updates with the operating system

Cons:

Requires two separate codebases if you need both iOS and Android

Typically more time-consuming and expensive

Ideal for high-demand sectors such as banking, gaming, healthcare, or AR/VR applications.

Cross-Platform Mobile App Development

Frameworks like Flutter and React Native let you craft a single codebase that deploys across both iOS and Android. This approach is great for faster development, reduced costs, and consistent design across platforms—but might trade off a bit on native performance.

Pros:

Quicker turnaround and lower development costs

Consistent UI experience across devices

Cons:

May have limited access to some native device features

Slight performance differences compared to native solutions

Perfect for startups, MVPs, and businesses with tighter budgets.

The Leading Frameworks in 2025

Let’s look at some of the coolest frameworks shaking up mobile app development this year:

Flutter

Language: Dart

By: Google

Flutter is renowned for its beautifully customizable UIs and high performance across different platforms using just one codebase. It’s a favorite if you need a dynamic, pixel-perfect design without the extra overhead.

React Native

Language: JavaScript

By: Meta (Facebook)

If you’re from a web development background, React Native feels like home. It uses reusable components to speed up prototyping and quickly bring your app to life.

Kotlin Multiplatform

Language: Kotlin

By: JetBrains and Google

A newer, exciting option, Kotlin Multiplatform allows for sharing core business logic across platforms while giving you the flexibility to build native user interfaces for each.

By: Apple

For purely iOS-focused projects, Swift combined with SwiftUI offers robust performance and a seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem, perfect for apps needing advanced animations and responsiveness.

Hybrid Approaches

Using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript wrapped in native containers, hybrid apps (via frameworks like Ionic or Apache Cordova) let you quickly convert an existing website into a mobile app. They’re great for rapid development but might not always match the performance of native apps.

Trends Shaping Mobile App Development

Looking ahead to 2025, several trends are redefining how we build mobile apps:

Next-Level AI and Machine Learning: Integrating on-device AI (using tools like Core ML or TensorFlow Lite) can help personalize experiences and power innovative features like voice assistants.

Wearable Integration: With the rise of smartwatches and fitness trackers, native development for wearables is booming.

5G and Real-Time Experiences: As 5G networks expand, expect more apps to offer real-time features and smoother interactions, especially in areas like gaming and AR.

Low-Code/No-Code Platforms: For rapid prototyping or internal tools, platforms that simplify app creation without deep coding knowledge are becoming increasingly popular.

Choosing the Right Tech for Your App

Before you jump into development, ask yourself:

What’s Your Budget?

Limited funds? Cross-platform options like Flutter or React Native might be perfect.

Budget is less of an issue? Native development can deliver that extra performance boost.

How Fast Do You Need to Launch?

If time-to-market is key, cross-platform frameworks speed up the process.

For a more robust, long-term solution, native apps may be worth the wait.

Which Features Are Essential?

Need deep hardware integration? Native is the way to go.

For straightforward functionality, a hybrid approach can work wonders.

What’s Your Team’s Expertise?

A team comfortable with web technologies might excel with React Native.

If your developers are seasoned in iOS or Android, diving into Swift or Kotlin may yield the best results.

Final Thoughts

There isn’t a magic bullet in mobile app development—the best choice always depends on your unique objectives, budget, timeline, and team. If you’re looking for high performance and don’t mind investing extra time, native development is ideal. However, if speed and cost-efficiency are your top priorities, cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native offer tremendous value.
